Condition
The sheet appears to be partially laid down onto backing card. The sheet and collaged elements undulate slightly but otherwise appear sound. The collaged elements are lifting slightly in places. The right and upper edges of the sheet are slightly uneven, with evidence of an old mount. There are several soft scattered creases to the sheet. There are several pinholes around the edges of the sheet, though to be inkeeping with the artist's working method. There is some discolouration to the adhesive around the collaged elements, and some slight staining and spots of minor foxing to the sheet in places.
The work is float mounted and presented in a simple painted wooden frame, held under glass.
