Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is brighter and more vibrant in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. Upon extremely close inspection, there is evidence of light handling towards the lower two corners, and a small number of isolated and unobtrusive fly spots scattered in places. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.

Catalogue Note
“As painting gradually became more of a window into some other reality, shape tended to defeat or contradict the illusion. Shape is the first element in my work: I would not say that it is the most important, but everything starts there.” (Robert Storr, Richard Shiff, Robert Mangold, and Arthur C. Danto, Robert Mangold, Phiadon Press, London, 2000, p.62)
