Condition

Colour: The colour in the catalogue illustration is fairly accurate although the overall tonality is slightly lighter and brighter in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Very close inspection reveals some faint drying cracks to the painted white stripes and a few minute media accretions in isolated places throughout. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra violet light.

Catalogue Note

"Everything that you see here [in this museum] are situated works. Of course, it’s everything we know about art—painting, sculpture, et cetera—but if I say “situated work,” they can be placed in different environments." Daniel Buren in: Emily McDermott, 'Striped Across The Decades', Interview, 6 March 2015, online.
