This work is in very good condition overall. There is a slight undulation to the sheet, inherent to the artist’s working method. There is minor evidence of wear and handling along the edges including a partial minor tear in the red at the middle of the left edge and in the unpainted area along the right edge just below center. Under very close inspection, some scattered light abrasions are visible throughout and a pinpoint red media accretion is visible on the border of the yellow and blue forms, likely from the time of execution. Also under very close inspection, there is light evidence of foxing. The sheet is hinged intermittently along the edges to the matte. Framed under Plexiglas.
