Purchased at the above sale by the present owner
Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, not laid down, attached to the box frame at all four corners, and presented with the edges visible. The right edge is deckled and the other edges are all very slightly uneven. The work is slightly time-stained. Some of the collage elements are not stuck down at their edges and there are a few glue remnants to the collage elements, both of which are very likely inherent to the artist's process. This work is in overall good condition.
