Tom Wesselmann

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly warmer with more prominent flesh tones and fewer yellow hues in the original. The figure's hair tends more towards a darker blonde yellow and the paper tone more to ivory in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Mounted at all four corners on the reverse, each of the edges are slightly uneven. There is a very small spot of faint discolouration at the centre of the extreme right hand edge and some extremely faint handling marks to the top left hand corner.
