Condition: This work is in very good condition. Very close inspection reveals a tiny scratch to the lower edge, approximately 10 cm. from the lower left corner. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.

Catalogue Note

“My forms are not rendered spatially. My paintings of tennis courts were about an interest in abstraction, and how the court becomes a geometric puzzle. There also is text, because of the advertising. My work is under-painted with big flat shapes of color; that is how they start. They are generated from an abundance of flat planes built up on top of each other.”
