Condition
Colour: The colour in the catalogue illustration is fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly cooler in the original. Condition: This work is in very good and original condition. All collaged elements are stable and all surface irregularities are in keeping with the artist's working process. Extremely close inspection reveals a minute spot of lifting to the upper center of the right hand edge. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
