This work is in very good condition overall. The canvases are unlined individually stretched. The stretchers are fitted together at the top and lower ends. There are slight undulations to the canvases which are consistent with the artist's choice of medium and working method. There are signs of minor wear and handling to the edges of the two exterior canvases. There is a minor scuff on the left panel at the right/middle edge. There are areas of minor lifting to the collage elements and creasing to the paper collage elements. There is a pinpoint area of paint loss at the top left on the far right panel. There is evidence of pigment separation throughout which is consistent with the artist's choice of medium. The center panel has evidence of minor stray medium, including some cardboard fibers, and a 1 inch accretion at the bottom right. Framed.
