The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.
The canvas, stretcher and attachments appear to be in generally good condition. All collage elements appear to be present and adhere well. There is undulation to the linen around the cardboard letter collage, presumably in keeping with the artist's working method and nature of the medium. There are some soft creases to the cardboard elements. When examined under ultra-violet light there is no indication of inpainting. It is our view that the work appears to be in generally very good condition.
Catalogue illustration: The white chalk passages are brighter in reality.
