Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is warmer and richer in the original. The catalogue illustration fails to fully convey the rich collaged textural surface apparent in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. A few spots of pigment have touched the plexi in the centre of the composition. All surface irregularities are original and inherent to the artist's choice of medium and working process. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
