Condition
Colour: The colour in the catalogue illustration is fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly lighter and brighter and it fails to fully convey the textured surface and neon qualities of the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Extremely close inspection reveals two pinprick sized specks of loss to the centre of the lower extreme edge of the right hand side panel; and a further pinprick sized speck of loss to the lower edge of the central panel, approximately 30 cm from the lower right corner. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.

“Right after I finished graduate school, I had this idea about making portraits of people in Los Angeles and using the talk show as a format to do that. I started designing the talk show set, and as the background of the set, I wanted a giant L.A. twilight sky. I did some research and found out that there were just a few places in L.A. that painted backdrops, so I met with the scenic-art department here at Warner Bros. The painter I met was Andrew Pike, who had just painted the backdrop for Conan O’Brien. I thought, ‘Oh, wow, this is perfect! This is someone who actually paints backdrops for talk shows.’” Alex Israel: in conversation with Aram Moshayedi, in: 'Alex Israel', Interview Magazine, 30 December 2014, online.
