Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. The edges of the sheet are deckled and there are artist's pinholes in the upper right and left corners and in the blue collaged element. The colors are bright, fresh and clean. An abrasion to the right side of the green painted area and along the upper right side edge has led to some pinpoint scattered losses. The collaged elements are intact and the white collaged element has been irregularly torn and glued down by the artist. The sheet is hinged verso to the mat intermittently along the edges. Framed under glass.
