Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. There is evidence of light wear and handling along the edges of the canvas and faint stretcher bar impressions. The sheet that is mounted to the canvas has staple marks intermittently along the edges, which appear inherent to the work. All surface inconsistencies also appear inherent to the work and the artist’s working method. There is a diagonal linear surface abrasion extending across the height of the blue painted section in the upper left. Unframed.
