Jean Dubuffet

This work is in very good condition overall. The edges of the canvas are paper taped. The impasto peaks are secure and intact and the colors are bright, fresh and clean. Upon extremely close inspection, there is evidence of a minor surface abrasion near the upper left corner, with a few resultant pinpoint losses and a second minor abrasion at the upper edge approximately 3 ½ inches from the left corner. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, the aforementioned abrasions and resultant losses fluoresce brightly but are not the result of restoration. Framed.

Framed dimensions: 28 ½ by 35 ½ in. (72.4 by 90.2 cm.)
