Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. There is evidence of light wear to the edges and to the collaged fabrics.

There is a pinpoint accretion at the upper left corner and a small tear to the American flag collage. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, there is no evidence of restoration. Framed and framed in a Plexiglas box.
