Dirk Skreber

Blum & Poe, Los Angeles
Acquired from the above by the present owner

This work is in very good condition overall. There is evidence of wear and handling to the sides, edges and corners of the canvas. There are areas of loss to the surface of the heavily impastoed circular forms, as well as heavy accretions of media and varnish, which both appear consistent with the artist's choice of medium and working method. Under Ultraviolet light inspection there is no evidence of restoration. Unframed.
