Condition
This work is in very good and sound condition overall. Under very close inspection and raking light, a few fine surface scratches are visible to the Plexiglas. There are a few, gold leaf components which have adhered to the sides and top of the Plexiglas. The successful purchaser is able to re-assemble the work with new gold leaf should they wish. Sotheby's would be happy to liaise with the fabricator to facilitate acquiring more gold leaf.
