Condition
This work is in good condition overall. There is a slight undulation to the sheet and a crease down the center of the work, which is inherent to the material and the artist's working method. There are artist pinholes in the upper two corners. There are a series of small holes along the bottom edge, which is inherent to the newsprint medium. There are three tears into the bottom edge, each about 1 inch in length and on the left side of the sheet. The top edge of the sheet shows signs of paper loss, particularly a 2 inch long section in the middle of the sheet. Certain areas along the edge, particularly the top edge, show signs of staining from tape adhesive. Overall the paper is slightly discolored from age. Hinged verso to the matte in the top two corners. Framed under glass.
