Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the fence is darker and the panel brighter in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. All irregularities to the fence are in keeping with the artist's chosen medium. Very close inspection in raking light reveals two small surface irregularities to the panel; one to the extreme upper right corner tip, and one to the extreme left edge, approximately 20 cm. from the upper left corner, which have been lightly in-painted. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.

Catalogue Note
"Simply to hang a painting on the wall and say that it’s art is dreadful. The whole network is important! When you say art, then everything possible belongs to it. In a gallery there is also the floor, the architecture, the colour of the walls."
