Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the illustration fails to convey the sculptural and reflective qualities of the work.
Condition: This work is in very good condition. Close inspection reveals minute specks of debris in places to some of the horizontal elements and very thin hairline rub-marks and scratches in places to the Plexiglas evident under raking light.
