The inside vertical edge of each sheet is perforated and the top right hand corner tip of the right hand sheet is torn. The sheet undulates slightly and there is some lifting to the paint in places, which in in keeping with the artist's working process. There is some compressed and popped bubbles in places to the paint which are original.
