Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate althugh there are fewer magenta undertones in the original. Condition: This work is in very good and original condition. There is some oxidisation and burnishing to the metal elements, and there is some soot staining and light rub marks to the glass elements, all of which are inherent to the artist's choice of media and working process. Close inspection reveals some light surface dirt in places. All elements are stable and secure.
