Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. There is minor, light wear to the Plexiglas boxes. The colors are generally bright and fresh but the brown collaged paper in the smaller element has darkened with time and the white board has yellowed slightly with age. All of the collaged elements appear intact. Any graphite smudges or irregularities in texture appear inherent to the artist’s working method and intent. Each framed in a Plexiglas box.
