Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. The sheet is hinged intermittently on the reverse to the backing board. The left and bottom edges of the sheet are slightly deckled. All of the collage elements are stable and there is minor evidence of adhesive residue surrounding the collage elements. There are some scattered surface accretions and a few minor areas of stray media throughout the composition which is inherent to the artist’s working method. Framed under glass.
