Condition

This work is in very good and sound condition overall. The Cor-ten steel has variations and irregularity to the patina, some of which appear original to the artist's chosen medium and some of which appear to be the result of being displayed outdoors. There are scattered accretions and light surface abrasions, which are visible in the catalogue illustration. Some dust and dirt has accumulated on the interior surfaces.
