Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the tonality is brighter with more neon undertones in the original. The catalogue illustration also fails to fully convey the three dimensional nature of the collaged elements.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. All collaged elements are stable. Close inspection reveals some short and stable tension cracks running intermittently along the extreme outer edges. There are networks of drying cracks scattered in places, notably to the neon orange and white paint. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
