Acquis directement auprès de l'artiste en 1967

Paris, Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, 17 ème Salon de la Jeune Peinture, 9 janvier - 1er février 1966; catalogue, no.130

The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration although the pink colour is fresher in the original work. The work has been recently professionally restored and stretched. Due to the artist's process, staple holes and original folding marks are visible along the white and pink bands. Numerous creases and folds are apparent throughout the surface. Under UV light, several restorations are visible, especially in the white stripes.
