Condition
This work is in fair condition overall. All monitors are in fine working order and the sound for the radio works well. All surface inconsistencies in the painted surface appear inherent to the artist's intent and working method. There are scattered dust accretions and oxidation due to the age of the work. The original Laser disk and Laser disk player which is supposed to play on the largest monitor does not function properly. However, a copy has been created on a DVD and plays successfully through a standard DVD player.
