Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is warmer and brighter, with more prominent pink and purple tones throughout the original. The catalogue illustration fails to convey fully the rich surface texture of the collage and the sparkle of the glitter apparent in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. The sheet is hinged to the backing mount in several places on the reverse. There is some slight undulation to the sheet. On close examination, a few losses have occurred over time to the figure’s shoulder on right side of lower left quadrant, and in a few further spots elsewhere.
