Condition
This sculpture is in very good condition. The blue Plexiglas on the sides of all units has recently been replaced by Peter Ballantine, Judd's former assistant and fabricator, with color matched to the artist's original intent. As is typical for the artist's installations, the galvanized iron surface has some scattered light rubs and discolorations from handling but relatively very few.
Please note that this lot is accompanied by a technical drawing done by the artist which is related to this work.
