Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. The rear acetate sheet is hinged in multiple places on the reverse to the backing board. The collage elements are stable and well intact. There is a minor undulation to the sheet with soft scattered creases. There is time staining to the newspaper and adhesive elements, and hairline craquelure to the white pigment in the lower right quadrant. The edges of the acetate are unevenly cut due to the artist's working method. Framed under Plexiglas.
