Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly warmer in the original and the catalogue illustration fails to fully convey the textured nature of the surface visible in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good and original condition. All surface irregularities are in keeping with the artist's choice of media and working process. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.

Catalogue Note
“Paintings change in two ways. They change naturally, with time, and they change intellectually, because the artist is only half of the process, the other half is the spectator and every spectator creates his own painting.”
