This work is in very good condition overall. There is light evidence of wear and handling along the edges. The colors are bright, fresh and clean. Under very close inspection, two minor outward protrusions are visible along the bottom edge, a pinpoint to the canvas is visible along the bottom edge towards the right, several small circular media accretions are visible along the left edge and there is a pinpoint brown spot accretion just beyond the figure’s cuticle. Under Ultraviolet light, the aforementioned circular drip accretions and a few minor other drip accretions fluoresce lightly but do not appear to be the result of restoration. Framed.

"I'm interested in contemporary vision–the flicker of chrome, reflections, rapid associations, quick flashes of light. Bing–Bang! I don't do anecdotes. I accumulate experiences."
