Galerie Bernd Klüser, Munich
Acquired directly from the above by the present owner

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is brighter and more vibrant in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is hinged to the mount at the top two corners and the left edge is perforated, original to the artist's choice of media. There is some slight undulation to the sheet throughout. There is very faint discolouration to the edges of the sheet beneath the window mount. There is a tiny spot of media accretion above the top left corner of the composition and a further tiny spot one third of the way up the left hand extreme edge. There are a further three very small media accretions at the centre of the top extreme edge beneath the mount, possibly intrinsic to the artist's working process.
