Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. The 4 sheets are secured together along their overlapping interior edges. The overall sheet is hinged on the reverse in multiple locations to the backing board. There are pinholes in all 4 corners of the sheets and each edge is deckled. There is a soft undulation throughout and evidence of creases, very soft abrasions and surface scuffs to the sheets, due to the artist's working method. Framed under Plexiglas.
