Condition
This work is in very good and sound condition overall. All elements are present and stable. There are textural shifts to the pigment, which appears to be inherent to the artist's working method. There is rubbing with associated pigment loss to the extreme and turning edges. The edges of most of the paper elements are deckled, and there are artist's pinholes, scattered soft creases and undulations to the sheets. There are some handling marks to the black paper elements, visible upon close inspection. Under Ultraviolet light inspection there is no evidence of restoration. Framed under Plexiglas.
