This work is in good condition overall. The sheet is affixed to the mat along the edges in a paper cradle. The media layer is stable, and the colors are vibrant.

Several faint vertical creases are present in the lower center quadrant, in the black. Pinpoint dots of media loss are present intermittently throughout, primarily in the gray; however, the media layer is stable overall. The work is ready to hang. Framed under museum glass.
