This work is in good condition overall. There is evidence of wear and handling along the edges including very faint hairline craquelure at the pull margins. The colors are bright and fresh. Under close inspection, scattered surface abrasions are visible in the black painted areas, in the light purple area just below center and in the dark purple area to the right of center. Under close inspection, there is hairline craquelure scattered throughout and there is a minor indentation to the canvas in the upper right corner where the light blue and green painted rhombuses meet. There are a few black pinpoint media accretions in the colorful painted areas likely from the time of execution. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, there is a 2-inch horizontal area across the green, purple and mauve area in the upper left and in the light green area at the center that fluoresce and appear to have benefited from light restoration. Unframed.
