Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the catalogue illustration fails to fully convey the graceful three dimensionality and kinetic nature of the work apparent in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. There is minor and unobtrusive wear to a few of the extreme edges of some of the metal blades and around the extreme edge of the metal base. On close inspection, there are a few scattered surface scratches and tiny spots of media accretion in places throughout.
