Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. The top edge of the sheet was torn irregularly by the artist at the time of execution and is hidden by the top matte. There is evidence of light wear and handling along the edges of the sheet, which have discolored slightly with age. There are scattered pinpoint media accretions and very faint drop stains visible upon close inspection. The sheet is hinged verso at the corners to the matte. Framed under Plexiglas.
