Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is brighter and more vibrant in the original. The illustration fails to convey the three dimensional quality of the protruding elements and the optical effect apparent in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. Extremely close inspection reveals a small number of thin and unobtrusive hairline scratches in isolated places in the black pigment. There are some very faint handling marks along the right hand edge of the black surface and the bottom edge of the green surface. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.

Catalogue Note
“The serial works led to a vibration of the painting. From there, I moved almost immediately to the superposition of two vibrations; and from this superposition, I arrived at optical movement through the displacement of the spectator in front of the stationary work.” The artist in conversation with Claude-Louis Renard in Exhibition Catalogue, New York, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, Soto: A Retrospective Exhibition, 1974, p. 15
