Condition
The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration, although the contrast is more important in the original.
The work is in very good condition.
The work is taped (Kraft-paper tape) to the mount along the edges on the front and on the reverse. In the lower edge (left corner), in the right edge (center) and in the upper edge (left corner): few centimeters of paper tape are missing and reveal one artist's pinehole in the 3 above decribed areas.
In the lower left quadrant of the work, a trace of glue (1.5 cm) is visible upon close inspection. In the upper right quadrant, a tiny scratch (2 mm) is visible upon close inspection, as well as a rub mark (1 cm) next to it.
