Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the paper tone tends more towards cream and there is less contrast between the paper and the collage paper in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is hinged verso to the mount in several places and undulates slightly. There are artist pinholes in all four corners. Close inspection reveals some glue residue and handling marks in places, which appears to be original.
