Condition

The painted wood panel is in very good condition. The paint is tightly bound with no visible losses. The predominately white construction displays an aged surface characterized by a slightly soiled appearance, which is due in part to the artwork's age. The colors, neon orange and turquoise blue, which appear on the underside of each cube are in good condition and retain more of their original vibrancy. Despite their aged appearance the white cubes are in very good condition and are well secured. No physical damage was noted on the surface. The wood construction is structurally sound.
