Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly deeper and richer in the actual work, with the yellow tending more to luminous yellow. The catalogue illustration fails to illustrate the dab of black paint in the pale grey section towards centre right of the composition. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The edges of some of the pieces of duct tape are lifting slightly, most notably at the ends. There is a minor speck of paint loss to the black paint 75cm. in from the lower left corner. There are a few faint lines of craquelure towards the centre of the top edge and several pinhead size brown media spots towards the top right corner.
