Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. The 2 canvases join together on the reverse with brackets. All of the collage elements are stable and well adhered. There are signs of wear and handling to the extreme perimeter and turning edges of the canvas. There are scattered points of stray media due to the artist’s working method. Under close inspection, there are a few faint linear scratches to the black, outer portions of the composition. Unframed.
