Private Collection, Europe (acquired directly from the artist)

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is brighter and more vibrant in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Very close inspection reveals a few spots of media accretions in isolated places. Inspection under ultraviolet light reveals a spot of fluorescence towards the centre of the lower left quadrant, which appears to be inpainting.
