Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. Extremely close inspection in raking light reveals some very faint superficial short rub marks to a few of the protruding elements and in a few places elsewhere. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.

Catalogue Note
"Surfaces are the reflection of the total inner space without the contradictions we tend to have - and which, therefore, exist - insofar as they are instantly assimilated, a moment of a communion before time confines them to their material precariousness."
