Condition
This work is in good condition overall. The edges of the canvas are taped and there is light wear and handling along the edges including some handling marks in all four corners. The canvas has lightly soiled with age. Under close inspection, there is some hairline craquelure in the center red orb form and some very faint surface abrasions in the black burst form. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, the aforementioned area of light wear at the upper left corner fluoresces lightly but does not appear to be the result of restoration. Framed.

Catalogue Note
"I want to express the utmost intensity of the color, bring out the quality, make it expressive. At the same time, I would also like to bring out a certain immaterial character that it can have, so that it exists as a sensation and a feeling that it will carry nuances not necessarily inherent in the color, which are brought about by juxtaposition."
Adolph Gottlieb
