Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly brighter and more vibrant in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. There is a light rub mark running parallel to the upper edge, visible in the catalogue illustration and likely original to the artist's working process. Upon extremely close inspection, there are some light dust fibres adhering to the surface in places. Visible only in raking light are a few very thin and unobtrusive hairline scratches to the surface of the vinyl.
