Condition
The foam board appears sound. There is some very minor rounding at the extreme edges towards the left and right of the upper edge, only visible upon very close inspection. Impasto tips have been very slightly flattened towards the lower left and upper right corners, and one in the lower left quadrant. There are instances of studio matter and detritus in the paint surface. Subject to the above, the work appears in excellent overall condition. The work is mounted within a foam card mount. Please telephone the department on +44 (0) 207 293 6424 if you have any questions regarding the present work.

Produced for The New York Times 'A Picture and a Poet' feature, 1st December 2015; Hodgkin’s painting was illustrated alongside the poem What I see is the light falling all around us by Carl Phillips.
'To have understood some small piece of the world
more deeply doesn’t have to mean we’re not as lost
as before, or so it seems this morning, random bees
stirring among the dogwood blossoms, a few here
and there stirring differently, somehow, more like
resisting stillness. . . '
