Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. There is evidence of handling and wear to the sheets, including a few scattered scuffs and small, vertical losses to the pigment at the extreme edges of some of the sheets, as well as creasing throughout each sheet consistent with the artist's chosen medium. The undulation to each sheet as well as variations in surface color and texture are inherent to the artist's chosen medium and working method. Each sheet is hinged at each corner verso to the mat. Framed under Plexiglas.
