Sale: Cologne, Kunsthaus Lempertz, Zeitgenössiche Kunst, 29 November 2007, Lot 628

Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate. The catalogue illustration fails to convey the kinetic nature of the neon lights which move from side to side, and it's accompanying mechanical sound.
Condition: This work is in very good condition and in full working order. There are some fine hairline cracks to the painted wooden box and some very light wear in places along the vertical edges
