This work is in very good condition overall. Both photographs are mounted verso to foam core. There is evidence of minor wear and handling, most noticeable in the lower left corner of Tremulous Pink. Upon close inspection, surface irregularities are evident throughout, inherent to the work and from time of execution. Framed under Plexiglas.

"It fascinates me how I can manipulate the truth so easily by the way I juxtapoze opposites or crop the image or take it out of context."  John Baldessari
