Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly deeper in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. The sheet is attached verso to the mount along the upper edge. There are artist's pinholes in the upper two corner tips. There are a few faint handling creases in isolated places to the paper, and a tiny dent towards the extreme upper right edge.

Catalogue Note
"Wool’s pattern painting evoke a peculiar disjunction between the prettifying intention of the rollers and the ascetic formal language in which he deployed them, described by as an interesting friction generated by putting forms that were supposed to be decorative in such severe terms.”
