Condition
Colours: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is much brighter and more vibrant in the original: the orange in lower left corner tends more towards tangerine and the orange on the photograph tends more towards a red-orange in the original.
Condition: This work is in very good condition. There are four small patches of adhesive residue at the left and right of the bottom edgeof the photograph and along the top edge of the fabric, probably inherent to the artist's working process. There is a tiny split in the plexiglass box to the right side of the top screw.
