Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. The edges of the artist’s frames exhibit signs of wear and handling though their mitered corners appear original to the artist’s intent. There are losses to the artist’s frames in works G, J, N and R. The frames of works A, F, G, I and R have been partially painted with red paint. The white interiors of the artist’s frames also exhibit a similar degree of wear all of which appears original to the artist’s intent. There is a slight undulation to the sheet in each work. Each work hangs on a pinpoint black nail from a copper wire.
