Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is more vibrant and the orange towards the lower half of the composition tends more towards neon. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Visible in the catalogue illustration there is a pinprick sized compass hole to the centre of the composition which is inherent to the work's execution. The pigment is slightly irregular in places, which is very likely to be original. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
