Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. The sheets are hinged verso to the backing board in multiple locations. The collage sheets are well intact and the uneven edges are inherent to the artist's working method. There is light wear, handling and scattered, soft creases to the sheets. There is evidence of time staining to the adhesive elements and in several areas the adhesive is lifting away from the sheet. Framed under Plexiglas.
