拍品的狀況可能存在極大差異，而由於其性質使然，拍品難以處於完美無瑕的狀態。拍品均以拍賣時的狀況出售。

Minor wear and rubbing is to the corner-tips and turning edges. Drying cracks and a few pinpoint losses are scattered to the black painted passages. Slight fraying and fine tears are occasional to some of the edges and corner-tips of the cut canvas, presumably in keeping with the artist's working method. Slight curling of the cut canvas is occasional, most notably to the upper register also presumably in keeping with the artist's working method and choice of medium. A few pinpoint accretions are occasional. There is no apparent inpainting visible under ultraviolet light.
