Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly softer in the original, with the blue of the background tending more to sky blue in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Some light dirt has gathered in places along the four extreme overturn edges, and there is very light wear to the corner tips. There are a number of slight irregularities to the work's surface, all inherent to the artist's working technique. There is no evidence of any restoration when examined under ultraviolet light.

"I'm especially interested in the fact that you can show three-dimensional space on a two-dimensional canvas. I feel the world is getting more and more flat, and the vision of people is getting shaped by computers and photographs. I'm trying to give more space, and that is special, I think."
