Condition report
A Christie's specialist may contact you to discuss this lot or to notify you if the condition changes prior to the sale.
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.
Not examined out of frame. The work is double sided and all collage elements appear to be present and adhere well to their underlying support. There are scattered soft creases, minor abrasions and light skinning to the paper, presumably in keeping with the artist's working method. There is some minor glue residue, handling marks and pinpoint accretions in places, presumably in keeping with the artist's working method. Subject to the forgoing, it is in our view that the work appears to be in generally good condition.
