Condition
This work is in good condition overall. There is evidence of adhesive residue throughout around the collage elements, which has darkened over time. There is time staining to the paper. There is light surface soiling throughout with some minor accretions noted. There are scattered minor tears and areas of lifting to the paper collage as well as undulation and creasing, likely due to the artist's working method and choice of medium. There are artist pin holes to the paper scattered throughout. Framed.
