- "X-BASE" CHAIR

Literature
Tom Langevin, Karl Springer Ltd. catalog 1977-1994, p. 2
Condition
Overall in very good original condition. The metal surfaces with minor surface scratches, a few minor dents and minor surface dirt consistent with age and gentle use, concentrated to the lower portion of the chair as expected. The lucite with minor surface scratches throughout and with a few minor areas of irregularities inherent to the material along the upper edge. The horsehair with minor surface dirt and a few scattered areas of wear consistent with age and gentle use. A rare work by Springer to appear on the auction market showing his signature pairing of statement materials in a highly detailed sculptural form. ---
