Condition
The board bows slightly but appears sound. All elements of the collage appear securely adhered. The red backing board has very minor rounding to the extreme corners and there is slight discolouration to the left edge of the red board. There are Artist's pinholes throughout the paper collage elements. Some adhesive is visible in places, in keeping with the Artist's materials. The brown rectangular feature is slightly creased in places, though these creases appear inherent to the work. There are a few spots of staining towards the right edge, though these may be in keeping with the Artist's intentions. There is light surface dirt in places and a few instances of surface matter and studio detritus. This excepting, the work appears in very good overall condition. The work is held within a painted wooden box frame and behind glass. Please telephone the department on +44 (0) 207 293 6424 if you have any questions regarding the present work.
