Condition
Colour:
The catalogue illustration is fairly accurate; although the purple blue tends more towards Yves Klein blue in the original work.
Condition:
This work is in good condition. There is irregularity to the pigment throughout, and light surface dirt in some of the crevices. These surface irregularities are apparent under ultra-violet light. Some wear to the pigment has occurred over time to some of the outer most elements of the sponge.
