Private Collection
Christie's, Milan, November 23, 2005, lot 364
Fabienne Levy Art Advisory, Lausanne
Acquired by the present owner from the above

This work is in very good and sound condition overall. There are scattered, minor abrasions along the edges and scattered yet unobtrusive accretions to the surface. The colors are bright, fresh and clean. The inconsistencies to the surface, including a slit near the artist's signature, appear inherent to the artist's working method and chosen medium. All of the protruding elements are stable and intact.
