Condition
This work is in good condition overall. The vertical element is well secured to its base. The stainless steel shows signs of faint scattered surface scratches and several accretions and inconsistencies throughout. The patina of the relief area varies in tonality and texture, due to the artist's working method. The reverse, wood element shows evidence of handling with scattered surface scratches.
