Condition
This work is in good condition overall. The canvas is unlined. All of the collage elements are stable and intact. There are a few minor linear surface abrasions throughout, and a soft crease in the canvas in the lower center. There is pale time staining to the collaged paper elements. There is some light scattered surface soiling and time staining to the canvas. There is a small area of overpainting on the right edge, likely due to the artist’s working method, which fluoresces under Ultraviolet inspection. Unframed.
