Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although it fails to convey the metallic and iridescent qualities of the gold. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Extremely close inspection reveals a few extremely faint and shallow superficial scratches in isolated places to the Plexiglas. Further very close inspection reveals some light oxidation and a few minute and unobtrusive media accretions to the metal elements on the underside of the table.
