Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. Each of the elements is installed with a cleat on the reverse. There are variations to the texture and tonality of the cold-rolled steel which are consistent with the artist's choice of medium and a few scattered unobtrusive surface scratches evident. Under very close inspection there are a few very minor unobtrusive surface accretions.

Catalogue Note
"Proportion is very important to us, both in our minds and lives and as objectified visually, since it is thought and feeling undivided, since it is unity and harmony, easy or difficult, and often peace and quiet. Proportion is specific and identifiable in art and architecture and creates our space and time." Donald Judd
