Exhibited
Berlin, Daimler Chrysler Contemporary, Private/Corporate III, 2005, pp. 16 and 31, illustrated in colour
Condition
Colours:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is brighter and more vibrant in the original. The grey tone of the text plate is slightly warmer and softer in the original. The illustration fails to capture the varied media throughout the work.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. The creasing and crumpling to the collage elements within the frame are original to the work's execution. There is a circular discolouration spot to the right of the photograph, visible in the catalogue illustration. There are a few very fine and unobtrusive scattered surfacerub marks visible in raking light to the exterior of the plexiglass frame.
