Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although there are no magenta undertones in the original. The catalogue illustration also fails to convey the reflective nature of the small three-dimensional dots in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Close inspection reveals a small speck of loss on the left overturn edge, approximately 5 cm from the lower left corner. All other surface irregularities appear to be original.
