There are scattered media accretions and pinpoint losses to the paint most notably in the white border of the central image, on the bottom edge of the black stripe approximately two inches from left corner, in the top of the “C” and top curve of the “S” which are inherent to the artist’s working process and chosen medium. There are also several scattered scratches which also appear inherent ot the artist’s working process from the time of execution. Framed under Plexiglas.
