Joseph Cornell and Betty Voorh

Private Collection, New York (gift of the artist)

This work is in good condition overall. All of the collage elements are well intact. There is some minor fading color to the printed paper collage. Under raking light, there is evidence of some minor adhesive residue surrounding the collaged elements. There is a faint accretion along the left edge of the composition. Framed under glass in the artist's chosen frame. There is some light handling to the framed. The masking tape adhered to the reverse of the work is lifting slightly.
