Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate. Please note that this work is double sided: one side is blue and the other is green.
Condition: This work is in very good condition. Upon close inspection, there are hairline scratches in places throughout the plexiglas. There are several further scratches to the base and underside of the sculpture. There is a minute chip to the extreme right edge towards the top right hand corner. There are a number of scattered faint rub marks to the blue and green silkscreen areas. There is a curved scratch in the striped area on the blue side towards the bottom right hand corner with associated paint loss and a further tiny scratch to the centre of the extreme right edge of the blue area of pigment in the bottom right hand quadrant. Both scratches are only visible upon very close inspection. Scattered faint handling marks are visible in the green area of the work. There are small superficial rub marks towards the bottom of both sides, probably caused by the impact of the hanging elements with the plexiglas.
