Alberto Burri

Colours: The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration, although the overall tonality is slightly brighter and more vibrant in the original. Condition: The work is in very good condition. There is a minute spot of surface dirt adhering to the black media in the upper left quadrant. Some further extremely light surface dirt is visible upon very close inspection to the white paint in the lower left quadrant. There is a very fine, stable and unobtrusive feather crack to the white paint to the right of the wood collage rectangle in the centre of the left edge. There is no apparent restoration under ultraviolet light.
