Condition
This work is in good condition overall. The canvas is buckling slightly on the left side. The colors are bright, fresh and clean . There is hairline craquelure scattered throughout, all of which appears to be stable. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, there is a 2-inch circular area where the pink and purple shapes meet just above the artist's signature that fluoresce darkly, and a few pinpoint spots in the black shape approximately 10-inches from the right and 22-inches from the top that also fluoresce darkly, both of which appear to have benefitted from restoration. Framed.
