Staatsgalerie Stuttgart, Gerhard Richter Aquarelle, January - February 1985, p. 93, illustrated

This work is in very good condition overall. The sheet is hinged verso to the mat at the four corners and is slightly undulated. There are artist's pinholes at the four corners and evidence of very minor wear to the edges and corners. Under close inspection, there is evidence of some minor flaking to the pigment resulting in a few pinpoint losses to the pigment particularly in the green area at the right of the sheet and the blue area at the top left of the sheet. Framed under Plexiglas.
