Mark Di Suvero

Robert and Ethel Scull, New York (acquired directly from the artist)
By descent to the present owner from the above

This work is in good condition overall. There is dust and dirt which has accumulated in the crevices of the steel pieces and on the top of the base. The wood base displays evidence of age and wear, much of which appears to be inherent to the found medium. There are spots of rust and oxidation in the folds of the steel. *Please note the auction begins at 9:30 am on November 14th.*
