Condition
The collage elements are applied to a dark cream colored wove card. There is uniform time fading to both the collage elements and the supporting card. There appears to be time staining to the glue in the collage. There are surface accretions to the composition, most notably to the guitar in the center and to the upper left and upper right quadrants. The pigments are strong. The work is in good condition.
