Condition Report:
This work is in excellent condition overall. There are tonal and textural variations to the tire collage elements, inherent to the application of this element to the canvas and the flattening of a rounded tire element. The tire collage elements have been irregularly cut by the artist. There is some adhesive residue bordering the collage elements, inherent to the artist's working method. Under ultraviolet light, there is no evidence of restoration. Framed under Plexiglas.
