Acquired by the present owner from the above

This work is in good condition. There are scattered and largely unobtrusive small nicks, abrasions and minute accretions. The work is moderately soiled and could benefit from a light cleaning. There are two fine scratches at the bottom of the sculpture approximately 1 ¼ and 12 ¾ in. from the left edge, respectively. There are scratches on the reverse around the hanging mechanisms.

Space can be thought of as the cubic area occupied by a three-dimensional volume.  Any volume would occupy space.  It is air and cannot be seen.  It is the interval between things that can be important to a work of art.  If certain distances are important they will be obvious in the piece.  If space is relatively unimportant it can be regularized and made equal (things placed equal distances apart), to mitigate any interest in interval.  Regular space might also become a metric time element, a kind of regular beat or pulse.  When the interval is kept regular, whatever is irregular gains more importance.
