Claudio Bravo (1936 - 2011)

Acquired from the artist circa 1970
Private Collection, Nashville

This work is in particularly good condition, as early works by this artist are often in challenging condition. The heavy piece of board used by the artist is stable and well supported. The paint layer is flat and has probably never been cleaned. It shows only a few small restorations in the upper left, and a few tiny dots in the lower left and lower center. The few losses that have occurred can easily be retouched. (This condition report has been provided courtesy of Simon Parkes Art Conservation, Inc.)
