Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. The canvas is unlined. The collage elements are stable and well intact. Under close inspection, there is evidence of minor handling and wear to the edges, including tension cracking where the canvas presses on the shaped stretcher at the turning edge. The surface texture irregularities such as uneven sheen, scattered stray media and pigment separation are inherent and consistent with the artist's working method and choice of medium. There is 1/16 inch drip accretion visible, 7 inches from the top and right edges. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, there is no evidence of restoration. Unframed.
