Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the blues are slightly deeper and richer in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Extremely close inspection reveals two very short and thin superficial scratches towards the upper right hand corner and some light wear to the extreme lower right and upper left corner tips. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.

Catalogue Note

"This structure happened out of need. I didn’t make the structure and then add the colour. The colour made the structure" (Stanley Whitney in conversation with Alteronce Gumby, in: Bomb Magazine, 21 April 2015, online).
