Condition

The aluminium board is sound. On close examination it is possible to see scattered tiny spots of surface dirt and matter in areas across the work. Some of the blue and purple pigments have an uneven appearance which appears to be in keeping with the artist's working materials. Two very small knocks with resultant losses are present in the upper left corner. With the exception of the above the work appears to be in very good condition. Please contact the department on +44 (0) 207 293 6424 if you have any questions regarding the present work or if you would like to see an ultra violet light report.
