Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. The colors are bright, fresh and clean. All of the collaged elements appear secure. Under very close inspection there is some small adhesive residue visible in the left panel at the lower edge of the map, inherent to the artist's working method. The corners of the Plexiglas on both panels have been secured with tape.
