Condition
This work is in very good condition. The board is sound. There are some stabilized and thin craquelures to the white surface. Under UV light, there are a few small retouching to the edges of the lower right quadrant.
Colours: the white area is more vibrant and the overall tonality is more burgundy than brown in the original.

" Poliakoff n'obéit point à un thème préétabli; il est entraîné par son propre poids. Il impose aux masses colorées un cadre qui est le reflet de son rythme intérieur. C'est le moyen pour lui de donner une assise forte à ces surfaces qui dans les limites ainsi tracées demeurent fluides et mouvantes comme des ondes. (...) Il semble q'il accorde une importance de plus en plus grande à la touche, qu'il pose en éventail autour d'un centre, à laquelle il confère une autonomie d'expression comme si, dans une oeuvre donnée, éclatait soudain un peu partout une multitude d'autres possibilités."
(Jacques Lassaigne, in Alexis Poliakoff, op.cit., p. 34)
