CHRIS OFILI | Poolside (Crystal)

David Zwirner, New York
Acquired from the above by the present owner

This work is in very good condition overall. There is evidence of very minor wear and handling to the edges and corners. Embedded paint bristles are scattered throughout, inherent to the work. Upon close inspection and under raking light, there is a very minor indentation measuring approximately 1 in. in length near the bottom edge and 15 in. from the left edge. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, the aforementioned indentation appears to have benefited from minor retouching. Unframed.

“In order for the subject to have any real gravity, I have to create a belief in it. And that's through being around it, working through it, having areas of joy, areas of ambiguity, openness.” Chris Ofili
