Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. Very close inspection reveals some oxidisation to the recesses, some light burnishing in places and a few shallow and unobtrusive surface scratches which are only visible when examined under raking light; all of which is in keeping with the artist's working process and choice of medium.

Catalogue Note
“Valdes uses the mechanism of evocation; he does not simply recall or record other works. Instead he narrates from another angle, from a torsion.”
