Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. There is a slight undulation to each sheet, inherent to the artist’s working method. There are artist’s pinholes scattered along the top and lateral edges of each sheet and the edges of each sheet are deckled. The colors are bright, fresh and clean. The sheet has slightly discolored at the top edges with age. Each sheet is hinged verso to the matte intermittently along the edges. Framed under Plexiglas.
