Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the tonality of the mount tends more towards a softer white in the original. Condition: This work is in very good and original condition. The upper four sheets are attached verso to the mount on all four corners and the lower sheet is attached verso to the mount on the upper two corners. There are artist's pinholes to some of the edges. All surface irregularities are in keeping with the artist's choice of media and working process.
