Jablonka Galerie, Cologne
Sale: Christie's, London, Post-War and Contemporary Art, 21 June 2007, Lot 508
Private Collection, Switzerland

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is warmer in the original, with the paper tone tending more towards ivory. There is also more contrast between the central paper collage and the main sheet in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. The sheet is attached to the backing board in several places on the reverse and the vertical edges are deckled. There are a few tiny nicks along the top edge and a further tiny nick to the lower edge towards the lower left hand corner. There are a few artist's handling marks scattered throughout.
