Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is warmer and richer in the original, with less orange undertones throughout.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition.
(i) In raking light, there are a few hairline surface scratches visible on the plexi. There is very light wear to the outer edges of the plexi box. There is extremely light wear and some scattered artist's handling marks to the paper, inherent to the artist's working process.
(ii) There are a few tiny white media accretion to the plexi box in the top right hand corner and some intermittent light wear along the edges of the plexi box. There are two cracks to the plexi box at the top and bottom of the left edge, partially visible in the catalogue illustration, and a further short crack in the lower right hand corner.
