Charles Hossein Zenderoudi

Private Collection, Europe (acquired directly from the artist)

This work is in very good condition overall. The colors are bright, fresh and clean. There is evidence of light wear and handling along the edges including a few pinpoint paint losses in the upper left corner. The turning edges have been fabric taped. The various media and drip accretions visible throughout are inherent to the artist's method of production and intent. Under very close inspection there are some very faint dark abrasion marks visible in a few scattered areas. Faint stretcher bar impressions are visible along the edges, in some areas this has resulted in a slightly uneven surface on the canvas. Under ultraviolet light inspection there is no evidence of restoration. Framed.
