Condition Report: Fine, harmonious overall appearance. The colours fresh; the neon red more intense and more vibrant than in the illustration. The edges, due to the artist's technique, in places with minimal scuff marks, otherwise without loss of substance. The vertical paper strips slightly wavy due to mounting. The lower left corner of the paper layer of Draft II slightly bumped. In both Drafts, in the black areas some slight scuff marks and mainly the green areas, due to the artist's technique, with small pale stains. The surface of Draft I in places with minuscule adhesive particles, likely from experimenting and repositioning of one or several paper strips. The wooden transport crate with signs of age and handling marks
Two designs on a scale of 1:50 for a planned mural in public space, probably never realized. The drafts are offered with the original transport crate designed by the artist and addressed to Baureferat Nürnberg [engl: the Building Department of Nuremberg]
