Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is deeper and richer in the original. The illustration also fails to convey the true depth of the sculpture.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. There is very minor wear to the corner tips of the square and rectangular shapes. There are stable drying cracks in places throughout, most notably to the red and green pigment. There are a few small scratches to the underneath of the oval shape on the far right of the composition. All further surface irregularities and imperfections are inherent to the artist's working process.
