Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. There is evidence of light wear and handling along the edges, which are taped. Under very close inspection, a minor pinpoint loss in the lower right corner and three pinpoint spot accretions in the lower left corner are visible. The surface is lightly slightly. Under Ultraviolet inspection, the aforementioned accretions fluoresce brightly but are not the result of restoration. Framed.

Catalogue Note

“The mystical jubilations of the physical world are over and done with: I have become nauseated by it and no longer wish to work except against it. What enchants me now is the unreal.”
Jean Dubuffet
