Acquired directly from the artist by the present owner

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the colours and brighter and fresher in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. There are four small fine cracks within the resin visible from above. There is some discolouration to the resin towards the top and bottom. There appears to be some oxidation in places to some of the cutlery inherent to the artist's choice of medium. There are scattered scratches and rub marks throughout the composition, most notably at the top and bottom edges of the plexiglass encasement. There are tiny chips in places to the extreme edges visible upon close inspection. There is a faint horizontal scuff mark to the upper right hand edge of the front plane and several further such marks to the above right edge. There is very light wear to all four lower corners.
