Condition

The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration, although the overall tonality is lighter in the original, especially the green dark block in the center and the red form in the composition. Colours are more vivid in the original. The work is in excellent condition. It is executed on a beige wove paper and taped to the mount at the two upper corners. At each of the four corners, artist's pinholes are visible.
