Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is brighter and more vibrant in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. All collaged elements are stable and all loose threads are in keeping with the artist's working process. Extremely close inspection reveals some very faint and short tension cracks in intermittent places to the two vertical edges and some tiny spots of wear to the two extreme upper corner tips. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
