This work appears to be in generally good overall condition. There are scattered traces of dust and stable craquelures as visible in the catalogue illustration. There is a minor dot of retouching by the lower left corner visible under UV light and two unobtrusive paint losses by the lower right edge.

Catalogue Note
L'artista col coltello. Il "buco" di Fontana, scientificamente, concretamente, dinamicamente, ci da vita. Non è una via di fuga, ma il volto del cambiamento. Dall'altra parte, oltre il buco, è possibile intravedere un mondo diverso, un altro mondo.
