This work is in very good and sound condition overall. There are areas where the attached hair is spotty, which is inherent to the artist's working method. There are abrasions on the stand where the rock and the stand come into contact.

"Abandon any art form that costs too much. Insist that it's as cheap as possible is number one; and also that it's aesthetically correct. After that, anything goes. And that keeps everything interesting for me." - David Hammons
