Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly deeper and richer and the blue tones have more yellow undertones in the original. Please note the frame is black and not as in the printed catalogue. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is attached verso to the backing board. Close inspection reveals some light creasing in isolated places throughout, most notably towards the extreme edges. Extremely close inspection reveals some tiny tears in places to the extreme edges, that are in keeping with the artist's working process.
