There is a tiny loss visible in the catalogue illustration by the lower part of a plastic blade located slightly before the center of the painting. There are few minor and unobtrusive losses along the black outline around the painting and traces of werìar by the upper and lower central part of the white frame.

[Il colore] non è semplicemente il colore delle cose o delle forme, [ma piuttosto] una situazione in evoluzione, una realtà che agisce sugli esseri umani con la stessa intensità del freddo, del caldo e del suono.

[Color is] not simply the color of things or the color of form [but rather] an evolving situation, a reality which acts on the human being with the same intensity as cold, heat, and sound.
