Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. The colors are bright, fresh and clean. The larger panel exhibits extremely minimal evidence of light wear to the sheet. In the smaller panel there is some adhesive residue visible and some light charcoal and graphite smudging visible, inherent to the artist’s working method. There is a minor crack to the Plexiglas in the lower right corner of the larger panel. Each panel framed in a Plexiglas box.
