Condition
The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration, although the orange is lighter in the original and does not tend to red as per the illustration. Along the right edge of the work, the black line in the illustration is a shadow of the fabric and does not exist in the original.
The work is executed on a white felt blanket. The work is in excellent condition.

"Chez Tàpies, toutes ces recherches de matières, de matériaux et d'objets visent la connaissance de la réalité du monde et ne se bornent pas à exposer, comme dans certaines tendances de l'art contemporain, des matières, des matériaux et des techniques, comme une fin en soi."
(Youssef Ishaghpour, Antoni Tàpies, Barcelone, 2006, p.86)
