Condition

The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration although the yellows are lighter and brighter in the original. The work is mounted on its original panel and under its original Plexiglas. Due to the original mounting the work is very slightly wavy: - In the yellow right part of the upper section (60 A) - In the lower right quadrant of the lower section (60 B) Under UV light, there is no evidence of any retouching. This work is in excellent condition.
