Condition
The colours are accurate in the catalogue illustration, although the image does not convey the texture of the work.
The work is executed on its original canavs and it is not relined.
All due to the artist's process:
- few thin cracks to the impastos are only visble under very close inspection
- few losses of paint located at the extremity of the pertruding impastos are only visible under very very close inspection.
Under UV light, there is no evidence of any retouching.
This work is in excellent condition.

Catalogue Note
Jean-Paul Riopelle à la fonderie de Meudon, vers 1962 © Pierre Baudin
Exécuté vers 1962, Sans titre se signale par une matière colorée qui sort vigoureusement de la toile. En 1960, Riopelle réalise ses premières sculptures. Le rapport entre les hauts empâtements des tableaux des années 1960 et la tridimensionnalité des bronzes atteste une énergique volonté de conquérir l'espace. Ici et là, plus rien qui ne soit jaillissement dru : la matière s'avance dans le vide, désir et maitrise mêlés.
