Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is brighter and more vibrant, and the light green tends more towards neon in the original.
Condition: This work is in very good condition. Close inspection reveals some very light wear to the edges and some unobtrusive rub marks in isolated places, notably one in the black towards the upper edge, one in the upper black lozenge and one in the black to the left edge. Further very close inspection reveals some small and unobtrusive media accretions in isolated places. There are some short and stable fine hairline cracks to the light green and light blue parts. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
