Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is brighter and more vibrant and the coils are more copper-coloured throughout. Condition: This work is in very good condition. There are a few fine scattered scratches visible in raking light throughout. There is very faint discolouration to the top of the resin where it meets the plexiglass roof. There are very small signs of wear to all four lower corner tips of the plexiglass encasement.
