Condition
As with many works by Piene from the 1960's, the background has faded due to exposure to sunlight. The red background of the present work has faded to a soft pink colour due to exposure. Upon close inspection, tiny stains and a small abrasion are visible in the upper right and left corners. This work is in good condition.
