Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although they fails to fully convey the metallic and textured nature of the foil support.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. The sheet is hinged verso to the mount in the upper two corners. There is evidence of light wear and handling along the edges of the sheet including some light creases, earmarked corners and a small nail-sized rubbed irregularity at the right edge approximately 4cm from the bottom. The irregularities to the surface texture appear inherent to the artist’s chosen medium and under raking light, some scattered and light surface scratches are visible.
