Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. The structure is sound and well intact. There is evidence of light wear and handling throughout the object. Under close inspection there is some light surface dust accumulation within the recesses of the sculpture. The scattered pinpoint holes in the rubber, most noticeably along the neck of the sculpture, are likely inherent to the artist’s choice of medium. There is a minor loss of medium at the bottom of the spray gun element.
