Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly deeper in the original.
Condition:
This work appears to be in very good condition. The surface irregularities are likely in keeping with the artist's working process and choice of media. The stolit in the composition has naturally decayed over time, in keeping with the artist's chosen media. Please refer to the department for further information.

Catalogue Note
“However non-objective and abstract the forms become, they retain a natural, organic tendency to be non-symmetrical, with rich textures and random growths that are witty and playful, warm and generous, providing them with a biomorphic vitality.”
