Condition
This work is in very good condition. All elements are stable and secure. There is evidence of light wear to the corner tips of the artist's wooden backboard, as well as some very fine and unobtrusive hairline cracks to the backboard in places. Only vsible upon extremely close inspection, there is a pinhead-sized speck of paint loss to the edge of the seventh raised element from the left, approximately 7 centimetres from the upper edge of the aluminium. Examination under ultra violet light reveals a few areas of fluorescence which do not appear to be due to retouching.
