Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although it fails to convey the bright neon quality of the pink pigment, the shimmering quality of the blue paint and the and the texture of the Roll-a-Tex apparent in the original.

This work is in very good condition. Extremely close inspection reveals two very faint and unobtrusive surface imperfections towards the upper edge, approximately 30cm from the left corner. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
