Condition
This chromogenic print is in generally excellent condition. The colors remain vibrant and saturated with no apparent fading. Upon very close inspection, hairline faint scratches, minor soiling and dust on the acrylic surface are visible overall. A small piece of the artist's frame at the inner lower left corner, appears to be missing. This might be a feature of the wood. This is not visible when the work is viewed from a normal distance.
