Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. There is a slight undulation to the sheet, inherent to the artistÂ’s working method. There is a pinpoint media accretion at the bottom edge. The surface is bright and fresh. There are some slight pastel smudges along the border in the margins, presumably from the time of execution. In the upper center of the middle sheet, a light abrasion has lied to partial lifting of the paper, visible only upon close inspection. The three sheets are attached and hinged verso to the matte intermittently along the edges. Framed under Plexiglas.
