Paris, Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac, Andy Warhol Public Faces, Private Lives Collages: 1975-1986, 2002

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the background in the 1st panel tends more to cobalt blue, the blue rectangle in the 2nd panel more to a light turquoise in the original, the flesh tone in the 3rd panel is a deeper pink hue and the blue accents in the 4th panel tend more to turquoise. The catalogue illustration fails to fully convey the texture of the collage on the work's surface. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Each sheet is securely attached at intervals to its backing board on the reverse. The edges are of each sheet are deckled. The paper is slightly undulating. The edges of some of the collages elements are lifting very slightly and there are dust fibres beneath the glass adhering the work's surface. All other surface imperfections are inherent to the work and original to the artist working process.
