There is an indentation area by the small scratch to the left lower side of the cut, visible under raking light. There is minor and unobtrusive paint loss by the upper right corner. No traces of retouching appear to be visible under UV light.

Catalogue Note
"Per quanto mi riguarda personalmente, tengo a precisare che la mia non è più propriamente pittura; è, semmai, una manifestazione d'arte plastica. I tagli e i buchi? Ah sì, ecco la mia ricerca oltre il piano usuale del quadro, verso una nuova dimensione. Lo spazio. Un gesto di rottura oltre i limiti imposti dall'abitudine, dal costume, dalla tradizione, ma - sia chiaro- maturata nella onesta conoscenza della tradizione, nell'uso accadenmico dello scalpello, della matita, del pennello, del colore."
