Almine Rech Gallery, Paris
Acquired directly from the above by the present owner

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is brighter and more vibrant, with the far right purple stripe tending more towards dark electric blue and the lime green stripe to fluorescent green in the original. The catalogue illustration fails to convey fully the reflective silver of the central strip and the mirrored surface of the pink Plexiglas stripe on the right side apparent in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. On close examination in ultraviolet light there are a few light superficial handling marks to the pink Plexiglas stripe and to the top of the silver stripe. There are a few spots of wear to the lower right corner and to the lower part of the left extreme edge. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
