Colours: The colours in the catalogue are fairly accurate although the overall tonality of the screenprint "Probelauf" is more lively and vibrant. The blue of the screenprint "Daheim" is tending more towards cobalt blue. Condition: Both works are taped to the mount at the two upper corners. In the screenprint "Probelauf" is one horizontal stripe of pen of approximately 1 cm. in the middle of the lower extreme edge in the margin section and one spot of dirt at the upper left corner not interferring the image. One crease of approximately 1 cm. is at the extreme edge around the upper left corner of the screenprint "Daheim". Otherwise both works are in very good condition.
