Redfern Gallery, London, 20th July 2001
Condition
Original canvas. The canvas appears sound. There are several minor isolated spots of craquelure, most apparent towards the centre of the flower. There is some extremely minor rubbing to the extreme edges of the work in places, with a tiny speck of loss near the centre of the upper horizontal edge, only visible upon extremely close inspection. Subject to the above, the work appears to be in very good overall condition.
Ultraviolet light reveals some areas of fluorescence which are thought to be inkeeping with the artist's materials.
The work is unframed.
