Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. The colors are vibrant and fresh. All collaged elements are stable. All horizontal edges of both sheets are deckled. There are multiple artist's pinholes to all four corners of the top sheet and the top corners of the bottom sheet, as well as all four corners of the collaged elements, some of which have minute associated tears. There is a slight undulation to the sheet inherent to the artist's working method and chosen medium. All signs of handling and wear and stray media are in keeping with the artist's chosen media and working method. Framed under Plexiglas.
