Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. The sheet is hinged on the reverse at the top two corners to a paper mount that is hinged on the reverse to the backing board. The collage elements are well intact and the edges of the sheet are lightly deckled with evidence of very minor wear to the edges of the collage elements. There is evidence of leftover adhesive residue on the perimeter of the collaged elements. It appears that the ink in the lower left quadrant has faded over time. There is a soft undulation to the sheet. Framed under Plexiglas.
