Condition
Overall, this work is in very good condition. The paint layer is stable overall on the canvas as it is on the metal elements. Both canvases are unlined and well-stretched. There is minor loss to the corners of the canvas. A faint, three-inch scratch to the surface of bottom canvas is present in the upper right quadrant (specifically in the upper blue border area). Some faint discoloration to the upper white border in the top canvas is visible.
