Depiction Size: 28 x 28cm.
Sheet Size: 43,5 x 43,5cm.
Notation: Monogrammed, dated, numbered and titled.
Publisher: Yves-Sillman, Inc., New Haven (publisher), for the Aldegrever Gesellschaft, Münster.
Number: 31/200.

Sheet is minimally wavy. Sheet edged trimmed by ca. 1cm, all four corners slightly trimmed. Minimal rubbing of the surface in the depiction.

The sheet is based on a work from the exhibition 40 New Paintings by Josef Albers in the Sidney Janis Gallery, New York, 28. September to 24. October 1964. In the exhibition catalogue this painting, as well as three others, were reproduced as silkscreens with measurements of each 18 x 18cm.
