Condition
Colours: The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration, although the overall tonality is deeper and richer with the yellow tending more towards sunflower yellow in the original.
Condition: This work is in very good condition. There are some extremely light, unobtrusive media accretions scattered in places around the black ovals in the upper left and lower right hand panels. In the lower right hand panel there is a minute handling crease to the tip of the top right corner; two extremely faint rub marks towards the top left of the black oval; a pinsized pressure mark approximately 10cm above the bottom left hand corner and another approximately 10cm above the bottom right hand corner. There is a very small, light rub mark to the perspex towards the upper centre of the left hand edge of the top right hand panel.
