Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. The stretched canvas is incased in a plastic blister pack with a cardboard backing. The canvas is unlined. Upon very close inspection there is some very minor pigment transfer to the plastic at the corners. The printed cardboard backing exhibits some minor fading to the color at the lower left corner and lower edge. There is very minor, unobtrusive wear at the top of the cutout triangle in the upper center, due to prior installation. There are two fine cracks in the plastic, one in the upper left measuring 1 1/2 inches, and the other at the right center edge, roughly 2 inches in length.
