Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate. Condition: This work is in very good condition. There are a few tiny specks of artist's inpanting in places throughout the composition; notably one to the bottom left hand corner and one to the lower right quadrant, which are a result of the artist's printing process.

Catalogue Note
“I never live through the camera. Once I’ve understood something, I can photograph it. It’s impossible to take a good picture of something when one hasn’t consciously or subconsciously understood something of the nature of what one is looking at. I’m not a collector in terms of souvenirs – wanting to own something, experience it by capturing it – it’s always about having understood, or at least felt the relevance of something and wanting to convey that sense” (Wolfgang Tillmans in conversation with Mary Horlock, in: Wolfgang Tillmans: If One Thing Matters, Everything Matters, London 2003, p. 305).
