Colours: The colours in the catalogue illustration do not reflect the translucency of the warm yellow resin backdrop within which the cyclinder dials are suspended. Condition: The resin is slightly bowed within the frame. There are a few scattered cracks within the resin to places throughout out the work, notably to the top of the lower right quadrant and to the centre of the lower horizontal section. There appears to be some fine mould growth to places along the lower section and there is discolouration to the resin throughout, notably along each extreme edge. There are a few media accretions to the exterior of the work to the lower left quadrant and some fine scattered surface scratches visible in raking light throughout. Some light superficial surface dirt is adhering to the exterior in places.
