Dusseldorf, Zollhof, Joseph Beuys: Zeichnungen - Skulpturen - Objekte, 1988, no. 40, n.p., illustrated in colour
Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the paper tone tends more towards a soft cream in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. The sheet is attached verso to the mount in the top two corners. The right edge is slightly deckled. Close inspection reveals a few pinprick-sized media accretions scattered in isolated places, a few extremely faint and unobtrusive creases towards the edges and a pinhole towards the centre of the right edge, all of which are likely to be original.
