Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. The four edges are deckled. There is evidence of light wear and handling with some scattered, light surface abrasions. The paint splatters and smudges on the paper collage appear to be inherent to the artist’s working method. The collage elements are stable yet there is evidence of slight lifting to the collage on the figure’s arm. The sheet is unhinged. Framed under Plexiglas.
