Condition
Colour:The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate.Condition:This work is in very good condition. There are a few minute scuff marks in places on the extreme outer edges of the frames and some very minor wear to the corner tips. Visible only upon very close inspection are four pinhead sized irregularities to the two larger prints; two on the left edge of the left print, towards the lower left corner, and two to the upper edge of the right print towards the centre. There is red paint residue on the edges of all three frames, all of which are likely to be original.

Catalogue Note
‘I could never figure out why photography and art had separate histories. So I decided to explore both. It could be seen as a next step for me, getting away from painting. That might be fruitful. Later, that was called conceptual art.’
