Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. The sheet is hinged intermittently verso to the mat. The collage elements appear stable and well intact. The variations in the pigment application are consistent with the artist's working method and choice of medium. There is evidence of very minor, unobtrusive light fading to the ink and there are a few, scattered areas of stray media. Framed.
