Condition
Colour:
The colour in the catalogue illustration is fairly accurate, although fails to convey the fluorescent nature of the pinks and oranges.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. Very close inspection reveals some unobtrusive drying cracks to the black paint in isolated places. Inspection under ultra-violet light reveals a tiny 2 cm spot of inpainting to the impasto section 60 cm from the left hand edge and 87 cm from the upper edge.

Catalogue Note
"Richter's more recent paintings are known for their fantastical subjects, vivid palate, and the distinct energy he infuses into each painting. Richter's narratives borrow from art history, popular culture, and mass media. The paintings are often large scale depictions of social protest, violence, LSD induced circus motifs, theatrical imagery, old school punk rockers and other worldly scenes of rape or crime with an almost Ensor-like aura" (Press Release, Los Angeles, Regen Projects, Daniel Richter: Rock und Polizei, January 2008, online).
