Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the paper tone of the mounting sheet tends more towards true white in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. The sheet is hinged verso to the mount in several places. The right edge is deckled, and there is very light discolouration to the left edge. All collaged elements are stable. Very close inspection reveals evidence of light handling in places and a pinprick sized media accretion towards the lower centre of the composition. All other surface irregularities appear to be inherent to the artist's choice of medium and working process.
