JESÚS RAFAEL SOTO | Plano negro con vibración

Galerie Denise René, Paris
Acquired from the above by the present owner circa 1970

The panel is in very good condition. The five painted squares which were recently repainted are well secured to the pinstriped panel. The pinstriped panel is in very good condition. Discreet inpainting was observed on the top right corner of the pinstriped panel. A faint 2" horizontal scratch was noted above the secund square from the right. The white background panel is in very good condition and presents minor rubbed edges from handling. The large black panel, which was recently repainted, displays a uniform matte appearance. Faint fingerprint marks can be seen along the edges. Several shiny spots can be seen on the face of the panel from touching. No significant damage was noted on the panel. It is clean and structurally sound. (This condition report has been prepared courtesy of Wilson Conservation, LLC)
