Dirk Skreber

Blum & Poe, Los Angeles
Acquired by the present owner from the above

This work is in very good condition overall. There is evidence of wear and handling to the sides, edges and corners of the canvas. There are areas of loss to the surface of the heavily impastoed circular forms, as well as heavy accretions of media and varnish, which both appear inherent to the artist's working method. Under ultraviolet light inspection there is no evidence of restoration. Unframed.
