拍品的状况可能存在极大差异，而由于其性质使然，拍品难以处于完美无瑕的状态。拍品均以拍卖时的状况出售。

The canvas, stretcher and attachments appear to be in generally good condition. All collage elements appear to be present and adhere well to their underlying support. There is minor rubbing in places to the edges and hairline abrasions to the lower vertical edge. There are a few pinpoint accretions in places, possibly studio related. When examined under ultraviolet light, the surface fluoresces unevenly but not in a manner consistent with inpainting. Subject to the foregoing, it is our view that the work appears to be in generally very good condition.
