Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. There is a slight undulation to the sheet, inherent to the artist's working method. The sheet has discolored slightly with age, most notably at the extreme edges. Under close inspection, there is skinning to the sheet, most noticeably surrounding the black forms. The variations in surface texture of the black forms are consistent with the oilstick medium and are inherent to the artist's working method. The sheet is hinged verso to the mat intermittently along the edges. Framed under Plexiglas.
