Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. The board is hinged verso to the backing board at all four corners. All collage elements are intact. There is wear along the edges and at the corners, with two notable impressions and minor losses at the top left edge. There is pale time staining to the collage sheets and the torn edges of the collaged sheets are inherent to the artist’s working method. Framed under Plexiglas.
