Galerie Bernd Klüser, Munich
Acquired directly from the above by the present owner

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate though the red tends more towards burnt orange in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is hinged to the mount in the upper left and right hand corners and is perforated along the left extreme edge, original to the artist's choice of media. There are extremely narrow margins of light pale mount discolouration along each extreme edge. A short line of residual media is visible above the centre of the right extreme edge (beneath the mount). On close examination the left corner of the extreme lower edge and the lower right extreme corner tip are slightly discoloured. There is a tiny pinprick sized media speck beneath the signature on the right side of the lower edge and another minute speck to the right side of the upper edge. On close inspection and in raking light there is a faint vertical rub line with a tiny spot of associated paper skinnng to the lower right corner of the image and a faint fine horizontal indentation beneath the centre of the right hand margin.
