Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is richer and more vibrant in the original and the catalogue illustration fails to fully convey the rich, glossy texture of the collaged elements visible in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. All collaged elements are stable. The canvas is slightly slack and there is canvas draw to all four corners. Very close inspection reveals an area of small losses to the center of the upper left quadrant. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
