Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although there are more yellow undertones to the figure at the centre of the composition and more blue undertones to the skeleton to the left of the composition in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. Very close inspection reveals a small network of drying cracks to a layer of thin brown paint towards the lower centre of the composition, below the figure with the green and pink square. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.

Catalogue Note
"How can I integrate in my paintings the cynical and artificial elements that I feel characterize our time? I found the wonderful idea of doing this via colour, in an abstract manner. I proceed as follows: on the canvas I develop a completely classical theme and a composition that can be quiescent at times, then change the proportions at my will and finally try to exhaust the colours by drawing them out until they almost become toxic, poisonous."
