Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. The sheet has discolored slightly with age, particularly at the corners. There is slight graphite smudging and media accretions throughout, inherent to the artistÂ’s working method. The upper right edge and upper left edge are perforated, which appears inherent to the work. The sheet is hinged verso to the matte at the upper right and left corners and at the bottom right corner. Framed under Plexiglas.
