Raimund Girke
synthetic resin on canvas
55.5 x 75.5 cm (21 7/8 x 29 3/4 in.)
Executed in 1960, in Germany.
Condition Report:
This work is in very good condition. The work is taped with white fabric tape to the turnover edges. There is minor rubbing to the corners and edges in places, minor pinpoint paint losses to the upper and lower right corners and occasional minute specks of paint loss to the edges in places, and minor discolouration with occasional faint handling marks to the edges in places, all only visible on close inspection. There is a minor stable impact crack to the thicker impasto (approx. 0.8 cm in length) to the upper right quadrant, a pinpoint accretion to the centre-right vertical edge, occasional minor faint surface rubs and occasional flattening to the thicker impasto, all only visible on close inspection. The work has been examined under ultraviolet light and there is no evidence of restoration. Otherwise, there are no apparent condition issues with this work. This work is framed under glass in a white wooden tray frame, presented float-mounted.
