Lot Essay
“The truth is, if there is one thing I can be sure of in my career, is that I was born in 1977 in Madrid. If I am asked when I started to paint or indeed why, well that’s something I can’t define so easily. I can say how and where, using pencils and crayons on every wall within reach, outside the house in Majadahonda, on the nursery walls and the pavements.” – Edgar Plans.

It is our opinion that the work is in overall good condition. The canvas is clean and taut. The colours are fresh and vibrant. The paint layer and impasto are in good condition. The work was inspected inside the frame. Sides of the work cannot be checked due to framing status. Slightly abraded extreme margins and corners. Visible only upon very close inspection, a few stable hairline cracks and craquelures scatter, predominantly on impasto areas, around the corners and lower part. Minor and stable crushed impasto tips could be observed only upon very close inspection. When examined under ultraviolet light, no apparent retouching is visible.
