Julie Sylvester, ed., John Chamberlain: A Catalogue Raisonné of the Sculpture 1954-1985, New York, 1986, cat. no. 43, p. 55, illustrated

This sculpture is in excellent condition and appears structurally sound. The scattered signs of wear, such as scratches, rust, and paint losses, are inherent to the nature of the found materials and the artist's process. The joins, including the weld between the metal and the wooden base, appear to be sound and secure, with the exception of two welds around the lower portion of the sculpture. These appear to have been detached for some time and do not affect the integrity of the sculpture.The work is slightly soiled from airborne dirt and dust, primarily in the deepest folds and crevices.
