The sheets undulate slightly and are hinged to the backing board at the corner tips and (i) is hinged at the vertical edges and (ii) is hinged at the center. There is minor wear to the corner tips and extreme edges. Minor wear, creasing and adhesive residue is scattered to the collage elements, presumably in keeping with the artist’s working method. A few white accretions are scattered to the upper left quadrant of (ii) likely in keeping with the artist’s working method. There is no apparent inpainting under ultraviolet light.
