Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly more saturated in the original.

This work is in good condition. Very close inspection under a raking light reveals a small number of shallow and unobtrusive minute scratches to the Plexiglas towards the centre of the upper left quadrant. Otherwise there are no apparent condition issues with this work.

Catalogue Note
"Part of the beauty and intensity of Akim Monet's photographs has to do with the convergence of opposites, of past and present. They stand sublimely poised in the space between." Hilarie M. Sheets
