Lucio Fontana

In generale l'opera è in buone condizioni. Ad un esame ravvicinato sono visibili piccole sbeccature in corrispondenza della figura gialla sulle sporgenze di sinistra e centrale, un'altra sbeccatura è presente sul corno della figura nera e un'altra in corrispondenza della figura rossa a sinistra. Vi sono delle crepe di cottura lungo il margine sinistro e in basso dovute alla tecnica utilizzata dall'artista. This work appears to be in generally good overall condition. On closer inspection there are minor chips by the yellow figure on the left and center projections, there is another minor chip on the horn of the black figure and another one by the red figure on the left part of the figure. There are cracks caused by the ceramic drying by the left and lower margins due to the artist technique.
