Condition
The colour is accurate in the catalogue illustration.
Except 5 spots of oxidation (from 1cm to 0.2 cm) located on the sides of the star, a few pinhead sized spots of oxidation located on the base, and the fact that the metal located at the extremity of the corners of the star is slightly bent, this work is in very good condition.

Catalogue Note
Conçue et exécutée en 1979, cette œuvre d’Agam est l’un des cinq exemplaires commandés à l’artiste par l’Université Ben Gourion pour commémorer les accords de paix signés à Camp David en 1978. Les deux premiers exemplaires furent offerts le 27 mai 1979 aux présidents égyptien (Anouar el-Sadate) et israélien (Menahem Begin). Le présent exemplaire fut acquis par Madame Jacqueline Goldman directement auprès de l’artiste. Historique et symbolique, cette œuvre est le premier exemplaire de L’Etoile de la Paix présenté en vente publique.
