Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. The sheet is hinged on the reverse intermittently to the backing board. The edges of the sheet are deckled. There is a soft undulation to the sheet due to the artist's choice of medium. There is scattered stray medium due to the artist's working method. Under close inspection, there are faint signs of handling and very faint surface soiling to the perimeter of the sheet. Under close inspection, there are a few accretions and abrasions scattered in the red and yellow areas of the pigment, most prominently in the red pigment in the upper right quadrant. Framed under Plexiglas.
