Condition

The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration. The work is executed on its original canvas and is not relined. The metal frame from the artist is not visible in the catalogue illustration. The canvas has a rub mark in the middle of the left edge (visible in the catalogue image). Some traces of dust are visible around the bullet holes and along the left edge. As visible in the catalogue illustration the plexiglas is broken in the lower left quadrant.
