Condition

This work is in very good condition. The elements are well intact. The found chair element exhibits wear, soiling and evidence of adhesive residue, due to the artist's choice of medium. There is a hole in the bottom side of the glass bottle due to the artist's working method and intention. There are a couple of minor associated additional losses to the glass in this area.
