Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. There is evidence of light wear and handling along the edges, including pinpoint areas of loss along the black and magenta edges and an approximately 2-inch surface crack along the top lateral edge of the turquoise area. The colors are bright, fresh and clean. There is masking tape adhered along the back of the upper turning edge which is peeling and cracking but does not appear to be harmful to the work. Under raking light, scattered, light unobtrusive surface scratches are visible.
