Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. The upper horizontal and two vertical edges are deckled and the lower horizontal edge is unevenly cut. Upon close inspection there are signs of handling scattered throughout, with some associated tears to the upper edge and one minute tear to the right vertical edge, 6 inches above the lower right corner tip. Further close inspection reveals some paper skinning to the left vertical edge, ½ inch below the top corner, most likely to be inherent. Under further inspection there are some minute media accretions scattered throughout, most likely to be inherent to the artist's working method. The sheet is hinged verso to the mat in numerous places. Unframed under Plexiglas
