Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. There is a slight undulation to the sheet, inherent to the artist’s working method. The sheet has slightly discolored with age. The edges of the sheet exhibit light time-staining are obscured by the top mat. Under very close inspection there are two pinpoint brown spot accretions to the lower right of the red form in the upper left corner and 1½-inches down from the top center edge. The colors are bright, fresh and clean. The sheet is hinged verso to the mat at the top two corners. Framed under Plexiglas.
