Condition

This work is in excellent condition overall. 20 of the 50 tweets are framed under Plexiglas. The 20 exhibited sheets are hinged on the reverse to the backing board and there is evidence of very minor undulation to a few of these works. The remainder of the sheets are loose and accompanied by an artist's designed box. The portfolio box is in very good condition overall. There is light wear to the turning edges of the box and under raking light there are some faint surface scratches and scuffs.
