• With his signature mesh of fine lines, Bernard Schultze creates an imaginative yet otherworldly cosm.

• For the first time offered on the international auction market (source: artprice.com).

PROVENANCE: Galerie Orangerie-Reinz, Cologne.

Good overall impression. With white wooden frame. The paper, mounted on canvas, is slightly browned and slightly wavy in the upper area. With various isolated stains, some of which are likely inherent in the work, as well as tiny spots of foxing. Small pinholes along the edges and in the corners. Superficial paper abrasion in the two upper corners.
