拍品的状况可能存在极大差异,而由于其性质使然,拍品难以处于完美无瑕的状态。拍品均以拍卖时的状况出售。
The canvas, stretcher and attachments appear to be in generally good condition. There is fraying to the ends of the canvas and some minor oxidation to the nails on the turnover edges. There is rubbing to the extreme edges. The canvas undulates slightly to the lower right corner. There are cracks in places across the composition, most visible to the black glossy passages in the left half of the composition. There are further minor cracks and rubbing to the white impasto peaks with a minor loss to the peak in the upper left quadrant. There are scattered drip marks, accretions and vertical linear abrasions, presumably in keeping with the artist’s working method. When examined under ultraviolet light, there is no evidence of any retouching. Subject to the foregoing, it is our view that the work appears to be in generally good condition.
