Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is deeper and richer in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Some characteristic oxidisation has occurred to all eight elements, inherent to the artist's choice of material. There are a few extremely light isolated tiny media accretions, abrasions and fine surface scratches throughout the work. The rusty surface has rubbed off in a few places around the edges of the elements.
