Exhibited

Madrid, Galería Soledad Lorenzo, Joan Hernandez Pijuan, 2002, illustrated in colour

Condition

Colours: The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration, although it fails to convey the textures throughout and tonal variations to the white ground in the original. The catalogue illustration also does not adequately convey the three-dimensional quality of the circular shapes throughout the original. Condition: The work is in very good condition. The uneven pigment application throughout is intrinsic to the artist's working practice. There is a small indentation to the canvas in the upper left quadrant. Under ultraviolet light there is a tiny spot of retouching to the centre of this indentation.
