Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. There is evidence of light handling along the edges, particularly at the corners and the right corner is slightly creased. There is a slight undulation to the sheet, inherent to the artist’s working method. There are two minor spots of skinning: one in the upper right corner and the second underneath the artist's signature. Under very close inspection, there are four minor pinpoint losses scattered throughout the work. The colors are bright, fresh and clean. The sheet is hinged verso to the mat along the edges. Framed under Plexiglas.
