FRANZ WEST | Pleonasm

This work is in very good and structurally sound condition overall. All the papier-mâché elements appear to be secure and intact. There is wear throughout the surface of the work, inherent to the artist's working method. There is light accumulation of dust on the surface of the work, as well as rust throughout the base. Small areas of cracking of the acrylic paint are visible throughout and most noticeable in areas where there are thick paint layers, likely inherent to the artist's chosen medium.
