Condition

The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration although the illustration does not convey the relief of the collages. Inspected unframed, the background paper is mounted on a carboard. The background paper is slightly dirty and light flattened fold marks along the upper edge are visible due to the mounting on the cardboard. When unframed there is an old scotch tape covering the work along all edges (approx.0.5 cm). There are pinholes marks located near this scotch tape all along the edges.
