Condition

Overall in very good original condition. Each of the stoneware elements with some very minor irregularities in the surface inherent in the material. This work has a deeply sculptural presence when viewed in person with wonderfully nuanced coloration that graduates across the height of the work. There is one stone at the top of the work that was cropped from the catalogue photograph with a gray ground with purple highlights. The work retains the original acrylic hanging wire, which terminates at the top and bottom with a washer, crimp and opening. This lot is being offered with hanging hardware. A rare series by the artist that imparts a wonderful presence when viewed in person with great scale.
