Roberta Silva

Acquired directly from the artist by the present owner

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly brighter and more vibrant in the original. The catalogue illustration fails to convey fully the reflective luminosity of the surface and the three dimensionality of the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. On close examination, there is a minute nick to the top of the sculpture on the reverse. There are a few scattered handling marks throughout and some light superficial dust has collected in the recessed parts. At the front of the sculpture to the recessed part there is a small imperfection under the top layer of the glass, visible in the catalogue illustration.
