Both works are within plexiglas boxes. Both plexiglas boxes show surface wear and scratches, and minor cracking, wear to corners. There are pieces of adhesive tape on the outside of each corner on both elements. No notable issues to the larger work on board. The smaller work on board is lifting in the center, and glue marks of the collaged paper elements are visible.
