Exhibited

Madrid, Galería Soledad Lorenzo, Manolo Valdés: obra 1988-1989, 1989, p. 24, no. 12, illustrated in colour

Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is deeper and richer in the original, with the cream hue tending more towards a soft beige. The catalogue illustration also fails to fully convey the rich surface texture apparent in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. All surface irregularities are original to the artist's choice of medium and working process.
