Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate. Condition: The work is in very good condition. There is some slight undulation to the sheet which is in keeping with the artist's choice of media. Very close inspection reveals some lifting to the collaged elements in isolated places throughout, most notably to all four corner tips. Further close inspection reveals that one of the stars in the top centre of the composition has become adhered to the front of the frame and there are two tiny scuffs: one to the centre right of the top edge, and one towards the white paper in the bottom left quadrant.
