Condition

This work is in very good and sound condition overall and is in good working order. Any scattered surface abrasions or dirt accretions are all to be expected of a work installed in an outdoor environment. There is some rust build up at some of the extreme edges of the cubes and one of the sheets of metal has separated slightly, but does not impede the movement of the sculpture.

Sotheby’s will be happy to facilitate an introduction to the George Rickey Foundation who will be able to advise and assist with the installation of the work.
