Condition
This work is in good and sound condition overall. There are abrasions and losses in the wood furniture elements, as well as accretions of paint and other materials, which is inherent to the artist's working method. One of the legs on the stool appears slightly loose and warped, caused by the weight of the rock element. Glue residue around the joints of the cross-beams indicates there may have been previous repairs.
