BERNAR VENET | Indeterminate Line

Acquired directly from the artist by the present owner in January 1987

This work is in very good and sound condition overall. There is evidence of handling and wear to the edges of the work, particularly where the elements join together, where minute and unobtrusive losses to the wood surface and pigment are visible. Further close inspection reveals a few unobtrusive scattered surface abrasions, scratches, and minute pigment losses throughout.
