Condition
The colours are accurate in the catalogue illustration, although the colours are more vivid in the original. The work is executed on paper laid down on panel, except one pinhead-sized dot located at 18 cm from the extremity of the lower right corner that fluoresces and two minor (0,3 x 0,3 cm) superficial dots located 1 cm from the right edge and 13 cm from the lower edge, that are only visible under close inspection, this work is in excellent condition.

Catalogue Note
"Lieux chaotiques où le physique et psychique s'entremêlent à reconstituer l'unité de pulsation de l'être. Faire oeuvre signifie, ..., écrire les lignes d'un immense et tourmenté poème ontologique. Le poème est ici une fête colorée, l'exaltation du mystère de l'être comme matière pensante et agissante."
