Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the paper tone tends more towards white and there are more blue undertones to the image in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is attached verso to the mount in all four corners. All collaged elements are stable. There are a few media accretions and signs of glue residue, which appear to be original.
