Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. There are scattered splatter accretions which fluoresce brightly under ultra violet light. Additionally, there are a few fine surface abrasions. There is a 1 inch area located 1 1/2 inches from the left edge and 25 inches from the bottom edge which fluoresces brightly under ultra violet light and which appears to be an inconsistency in the paint application and inherent to the artist's working method. Under ultra violet light there is no evidence of restoration. Framed.

Catalogue Note
"I never do color sketches. I do color on the canvas. I have always felt that in order to be a good painter one should be color-blind, because color doesn't have to be seen. It only needs to be felt. " - Richard Lindner
