Condition
The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration, although the contrast is more important in the original.
The work is in excellent condition. The artist's pinholes are visible upon very close inpection along the four edges of the work. Two creases (approx. 1.5cm, each) are visible upon close inspection in the upper right quadrant of the work, as well as one in the lower left quadrant (approx. 1.5 cm), these look inehrent to the artist's working process. A 4 cm scratch is visible to the plexiglas on the left side edge.
