Condition
Stripy:
The card appears to be fully laid down onto a backing card. The card appears sound. Some of the collaged elements undulate slightly and lift away slightly from the car. The outer edges of the work are slightly scuffed in places, and there is a very small tear, with associated loss, towards the upper left vertical edge of the work. There are some pin holes scattered across the work, which appear to be inkeeping with the artist's working method, and which in two instances towards the right of the central panel has resulted in an associated tear to the sheet. There are some scattered spots of foxing across the work, most apparent to the areas of white card. There is some light scuffing and surface dirt across the work.
Blue:
The sheet appears sound. One or two of the collaged elements appear slightly loose towards the lower horizontal edge, but otherwise the collaged elements appear sound and secure.There are pinholes at each of the four corners of the sheet and along the upper horizontal edge, which appear inkeeping with the artist's working method. There are two extremely small tears to the dark blue paper along the left vertical edge, and two soft creases to the lower right corner of the dark blue paper. There are some scattered spots of foxing across the work, most apparent to the white areas of the sheet. There are some traces of light surface dirt.
Each work is unframed.
