Condition

Colour: The colour in the catalogue illustration is fairly accurate, although it fails to convey the neon qualities of the paint. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Very close inspection reveals four faint horizontal stretcher bar marks and some light canvas draw to the lower right hand corner tip. Further very close inspection reveals some very fine drying cracks to the areas of thicker impasto and a few extremely fine and unobtrusive cracks in isolated places. Extremely close inspection reveals a few short and unobtrusive feather line cracks in the green pigment to the right of the composition. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.

"Painting facilitates the synchronicity of acting and thinking in the most amazing way because there’s no transmitter between the tools and me. A painting is simply a screen between the producer and the spectator where we can both look at the thought processes residing on the screen from different angles and points in time. It enables me to look at the residue of my thinking" (Katharina Grosse cited in: Emily Wasik, 'Katharina Grosse Sticks to her Guns', Interview, 4 November 2014, online).
