“The important thing is how that painting is painted and how it seduces the viewer. The intelligence of the execution, its mastery, how the artist manages the viewer’s perspective from where he wants. Where does the viewer enter the painting, walk through it. and then exit? Those are the things that make a work of art timeless.” - Matías Sánchez

Condition report
A Christie's specialist may contact you to discuss this lot or to notify you if the condition changes prior to the sale.
The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.
It is in our opinion that the work is in overall good condition. Negligible tension cracks and faint abrasion marks are occasional to the turning edges, only visible upon close inspection. Black rubbing marks to the right turning edge, which are presumably part of the artist's working process. When inspected under ultraviolet light, no apparent signs of inpainting show.
