Condition
As most of the oil on canvas works by Poliakoff dating from the 60's, the artist prepared his canvas with laid down paper before the execution of the work. Close inspection reveals that white stains have appeared in the lower left quadrant, which are consistent with the aging process of the medium and material chosen by the artist. There is a tiny superficial chip in the lower right corner visible under close inspection. There are no traces of restoration under UV light inspection. This work is in very good condition.
