Condition
The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration.
The work is executed on its original canvas and is not relined.
The matte layer of paint at the surface rifted during the drying process, resulting is few small circular shapes and a homogeneous cloud-like quality to the surface visible under close inspection, coherent with the technique used by the artist and its evolution.
Under Ultra Violet light inspection there is no evidence of restoration.
This work is in excellent original condition.
