Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the background is slightly lighter and the red is deeper and richer in the originals. The illustration fails to convey the metallic silver hues at the top and bottom of the soup cans.
Condition: All four canvases are in very good condition. Upon close inspection, there are a few hairline stable cracks in the red pigment of the soup cans and extremely fine tension cracks running intermittently along all extreme outer edges. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
