Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. All collaged elements are stable. There is some light wear to all four corner tips and lower edge, with some associated tears and paper lifting in places. There are short tears, creases and some of the collaged paper elements are lifting slightly in places, which is in keeping with the artist's choice of media. Extremely close inspection reveals a few minute and unobtrusive spots of oxidation in places, and a few spots of media accretion.
