Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality of the actual works is lighter and more vibrant overall. Condition: These works are in very good condition. From the catalogue illustration, the top right image displays an extremely faint stain towards the centre of the lower left quadrant. There is a pin prick sized indentation 2cm. down from the centre of the top edge. There is a tiny spot of media accretion to the right of the centre of the upper right quadrant. The top centre image displays a tiny media accretion approximately 6cm. right of the top left corner. There are several light spots of dust towards the lower right quadrant and some tiny spots of surface dirt at the centre of the right edge. The central image displays a fine 2cm. horizontal scratch towards the centre of the right edge and a pinprick sized indentation at the centre of the lower right hand quadrant. The other photograpds are in clean and good condition; examination under a raking light reveals no signs of damage.
