Condition

This work is in good condition overall. There is evidence of wear and handling. There is scattered evidence of paint losses on the metal elements which are largely inherent to the artist's working method. The particle board is a bit fragile as the result of age. Under ultraviolet light inspection there is no evidence of restoration.
