Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the blue of the foam is softer and tending more towards baby blue in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. There are some scattered irregularities and scratches to the outer edges of the foam elements, all of which are inherent to the artist's choice of media.
