Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. All of the elements are secure (with the exception of the foil which is intentionally separate), though the right protruding element is slightly loose yet stable. The various elements of cut paperboard have discolored slightly and have faint graphite smudges. There is glue residue visible on the wooden elements, inherent to the artist's intent and working method. The foil is creased per the artist's intent and working method and there are 3 minor tears to the edge of the foil where it wraps around the left protruding element.
