WUK Kunsthalle Exnergasse, Vienna

Vienna, WUK Kunsthalle Exnegrasse. Bad Press. June - July 2003

Colour: Colour: The colour in the catalogue illustration is fairly accurate although overall tonality is slightly warmer in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The cardboard is irregularly cut, and there are associated tears along the edges. There are some nicks, and creases in places along the edges, most of which are likely to be original. There are a number of superficial, faint rub marks and scratches in places, which are likely to be in keeping with the artist's working process. There is a horizontal crease to the figure's left hand boot.
