New York, Clement Greenberg Gallery, Kenneth Noland, 1984, n.p., illustrated

Condition

Colour: The colours in the cataogue illustration are fairly accurate although there are fewer green undertones to the yellow background in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Very close inspection reveals some light dust fibres that have adhered to the recesses in the more impastoed areas. Further close inspection reveals some faint rub marks in places to the lower half of the composition; one towards the right edge, approximately 80cm from the lower edge, and two towards the centre left of the lower edge. There are some minute and unobtrusive specks of media accretion in isolated places. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.

"Like arrowheads moving down or across the picture surface, this dramatic layout imposed a bold sense of direction, forcing Noland to find colours that take advantage of the abrupt transition from one band to the next... arranging those hues with dazzling exactitude" (Terry Fenton cited in: Exh. Cat., New York, Salander-O'Reilly Galleries, Inc., Kenneth Noland: An Important Exhibition of Paintings from 1958 through 1989, 1989, p. 11).
