Gifted by the Artist to the present owner in 1993

Judith Collins, Eduardo Paolozzi, Lund Humphries, Farnham, 2014, illustrated fig.249, p.282 (another cast).

The sculpture is sound. There are one or two very small pits to the bronze, most likely flaws in the casting process. There is some uneveness to the patina at the front of the work, which appears to be casting residue. There are further traces of casting residue in some of the crevices of the bronze, as well as some surface dirt. Subject to the above the work is in excellent overall condition. The sculpture is freestanding. Please telephone the department on +44 207 293 6424 if you have any questions.
