Condition
Colours:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is warmer in the original, with some hues of pale pink to the oar and to the fish.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. There is a faint crack to the top of the figure's left arm and a further crack to the neck. There is also a crack with a tiny associated loss to the figure's left wrist. There are areas of discolouration throughout which are intrinsic to the artist's choice of medium.

Catalogue Note
Tamara Kvesitadze represented Georgia at the 52nd Venice Biennale in 2007 with co-authors Paata Sanaia and Zura Gugulashvili; her project Re-Turn explored the compelling dichotomy between the mechanical and organic in sculptural art.
