Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. There are soft undulations to the sheet, most noticeable in the radius around the center region and inherent to the artist's working method. Visible under close inspection and certain raking light, there is stable hairline craquelure in the central blue circle including two pinpoint areas of corresponding loss. The sheet is hinged verso to the mat in all four corners. Framed under Plexiglas.

"One day I was looking at the red flower patterns of the tablecloth on a table, and when I looked up I saw the same pattern covering the ceiling, the windows, and the walls, and finally all over the room, my body and the Universe. I felt as if I had begun to self-obliterate, to revolve in the infinity of endless time and the absoluteness of space, and be reduced to nothingness. As I realized it was actually happening and not just in my imagination, I was frightened. I knew I had to run away lest I should be deprived of my life by the spell of the red flowers."
