Exhibited

Zürich, Kunsthalle, Anselm Reyle ARS NOVA, 2006, p. 211, illustrated in colour

Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is brighter and more vibrant, particularly the reds, pinks and greens, in the original. The circular drip towards the lower right is more of a flourescent orange colour in the original. The catalogue illustration fails to fully capture the bronze mirrored element to the left and the gold foil at the right. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Close inspection reveals a very small paint loss to the lower right of the magenta strip of paint next to the mirror. No restoration is apparent under ultra violet light.
