Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although there are fewer yellow undertones visible in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is attached verso to the backing mount in several places, and there are artist's pinholes to all four corners. There is evidence of handling and creasing throughout, with some associated scuffing and minor tearing in places, which is in keeping with the artist's working process. Al collaged elements are stable. All other surface irregularities are likely to be original and in keeping with the artist's working process.
