Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although it fails to fully convey the contrast between the white areas of paint and the background of the paper visible in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. The sheet is attached verso to the backing board and undulates slightly. All four edges are deckled or irregularly cut and all collaged elements are stable. There is a tear to the lower right corner, which appears to be original. All media accretions, handling marks and other surface irregularities are in keeping with the artist's choice of media and working process.
