Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is much brighter and more luminous in the original work where the colours tend more towards florescent hues. The catalogue illustration also fails to accurately convey the reflective quality of the silver foil and gold acrylic strip.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. There are several faint rub marks to the lower extreme left hand edge next to the artist's symbol. There are three faint white media marks 20cm. above this. There are several further rub marks to the bottom extreme edge of the orange stripe. There are several further very faint rub marks to the upper section of the black stripe and stable diagonal feather cracks beneath this. There is slight lifting to the top and bottom edges of the golden metallic stripe. There is a very faint line of media accretion above the centre of the yellow stripe. There are very faint finger marks in places in the top half of the silver stripe. There is a tiny irregularity to the paint surface of the purple stripe 20cm. above the bottom edge which would appear to be original to the work's execution. All of the above are unobtrusive and only visible upon close inspection. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
