Condition
This work is in good condition overall. There is evidence of wear and handling to the edges, including a few scattered abrasions to the pigment and areas of surface soiling. Upon close inspection, there are scattered brown and translucent pinpoint surface accretions visible, most noticeably on the right side of the composition in the areas of white pigment. Under ultraviolet light inspection, there are scattered pinpoint areas, clustered at the upper right corner and along the left edge, particularly along the middle horizontal axis, that fluoresce darkly and may have benefited from restoration. Framed.

"The underlying sense of form in my work has been the system of the Universe, or part thereof [...] What I mean is that the idea of detached bodies floating in space, of different sizes and densities, perhaps of different colors and temperatures, and surrounded and interlarded with wisps of gaseous condition, and some at rest, while others move in particular manners, seems to me the ideal source of form.” Alexander Calder
