Condition
It is our opinion that this work is in excellent condition. <br><br>This work is comprised of synthetic polymer and silkscreen inks on canvas, supported by a four-member wood stretcher and metal frame. There is evidence of very faint wear along the extreme edges of the canvas, most notably in the lower right corner. The work has been viewed under ultraviolet light, and no surface inconsistencies are visible.
