Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although there are fewer magenta undertones and the blue and green are lighter and brighter in the original. Condition: This work is in very good and original condition. The sheet is attached verso to the mount in all four corners and undulates slightly. Very close inspection reveals handling marks and wear to all four edges and corner tips with some associated small nicks and short tears in places, which are likely to be original and in keeping with the artist's working process. Further close inspection reveals some light creasing throughout the composition, in particular one towards the upper centre of the right edge approximately 1.5 cm. in length and one towards the lower centre of the right edge approximately 6 cm. in length, both of which are likely to be original and in keeping with the artist's working process.
