Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are accurate although the illustration fails to convey the sculptural nature and kinetic movement of the work.
Condition: This work is in very good and sound working condition. There is a very small group of minute media accretions towards the left of the centre, and minor rubbing to the overturn edges and minor indentations to the surface of the blocks throughout, as to be expected with the polystyrene medium. There is an indentation to the extreme overturn lower right edge, and minor ones to the top left corner tip, the extreme overturn of the lower left edge and towards the lower left corner. No restoration is apparent under ultraviolet light.
