Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is much more saturated in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. Some fading to the colour prints has occurred over time. Visible only upon very close inspection in raking in raking light are a few very unobtrusive surface scratches to the plexiglass.

Catalogue Note
"The power of these images is the result of the artists’ unbridled and uncensored imagination and of their fiercely simple colours and structures, which echoes through the corridors of religious art."
