Roberto Burle-Marx (1909-1994)

Private Collection

This work has been recently cleaned and should be hung in its current condition. There are no damages or retouches. The canvas is wrapped around a piece of plywood, but is not adhered to it. Although this is an unconventional method of support, the paint layer is very healthy. The surface may be lightly varnished. The work is ready to hang.
