Joseph Beuys

Acquired from the artist by the present owner

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 in several places. There are some handling creases to the lower centre and to the corner tips, particularly the lower right corner tip, which are likely to be original. There are a few minor rub marks and media accretions in isolated places, and some discolouration to the paper in the upper right and lower left corners, that also appears to be original.
