Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is lighter and brighter in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is attached verso to the backing mount in several places. The sheet is irregularly cut and undulates slightly. All collaged elements are stable. There is evidence of handling throughout, as well as some small spots of fraying in places, a small number of tears and creases towards the edges and corners of the collaged sheets, all of which are in keeping with the artist's choice of media and working process.
