Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. There is evidence of light wear and handling along the edges including some light staining to the white canvas edges and a few pinholes scattered along the edges. Adhesive residue is visible along the edges and beneath some of the adhered felt elements. All of the adhered and collaged elements are stable. The colors are bright, fresh and clean. The brown painted canvas is frayed along the edges and the blue felt has been cut irregularly at the top edge, both inherent to the artist's working method. There are two pinpoint black media accretions at the top of the T-shaped brown painted canvas area, presumably inherent to the artist's working method. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, there is no evidence of restoration. Unframed.
