Condition
Colours: The colours in the catalogue illustration are much too dark and the overall tonality of the actual work is brighter and more vibrant tending to royal blue, turquoise and navy hues. The catalogue also fails to convey the drips of the painterly surface which have a reflective sheen to them in places.
Condition: This work is in very good condition. There canvas is slightly slack overall with very minor canvas draw in the lower right corner. There is a white speck of media accretion located below the 5 and 6 on the clock in the lower composition. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
