Condition
This work is in excellent condition overall. The surface is clean and smooth. Only under raking light and very close inspection are some extremely minor and faint superficial abrasions visible along the back center turning edges. There is a very minor irregularity in the surface layer on the back face of the plane, which is only visible under close inspection and appears to be inherent to the process.

Catalogue Note
“Good artwork is like a [good] person: It needs presence, separation and connectedness to everything around it. It needs awareness of infinity, but presence in the now.” John McCracken
