Condition

The board is flat, even, and ensuring a stable support. There is some minor rubbing at the extreme upper and left edges and some drying craquelure is visible in the black pigments in the geometric shapes in the upper right and lower left quadrants of the composition - as visible in the catalogue illustration. Ultra-violet light reveals some very thin lines of retouching in the lower half of the composition, addressing some minor superficial scratches. This work is in good condition and ready to hang. Presented in a simple dark frame.
