Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. The collage elements are stable and well intact. The variations to the surface texture, including unobtrusive pigment separation, are due to the artist's chosen medium and working method. There is some very minor scattered dust accumulation and surface accretions to the work. Under very close inspection and with raking light, there are a few linear, non-obtrusive hairline scattered surface scratches viewable. There is some scattered, very minor wear to the turning edges. Unframed.
