Condition

Colour: The colour in the printed catalogue is fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is brighter and more vibrant in the original. The catalogue illustration fails to convey the iridescent and mirrored qualities of the foiled surfaces and textured qualities of the work. Condition: This work is in very good condition. All collaged elements are stable.Close inspection reveals some light lifting to the tips of the metallic foil on the horse's mane. Further close inspection reveals some minute and unobtrusive broken impasto tips in places as well as some superficial to the metallic elements Extremely close inspection reveals a tiny spec of loss to the upper left corner tip of the frame and a shallow and unobtrusive minute scratch to the lower right corner.
