Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is lighter and there are cyan undertones in the original. The catalogue illustration also fails to convey the highly textured surface of the collaged areas.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. There is some wear to the upper right corner tip, and a few networks of thin cracks with two associated tiny specks of paint loss to the lower left extreme outer edge. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
