Condition
This work is in good condition overall. There are various surface nuances and discolorations inherent to the industrial property of the cold rolled steel; and as such many appear inherent to the artists' working method; particularly the central discoloration evident at the orifice of the contruction. There is evidence of handling marks particularly at the right lateral side of the construction; the left lateral side, show evidence of spot accretions and two vertical drip marks; the largest measuring 9 inches; the smallest; measusring approximately 6 inches, which do not appear inherent although not particularly obtrusive as the dark nature of the metal.
