Condition

The painted wood panel is in very good condition. The paint is tightly bound with no visible losses. The predominately white construction displays a slightly aged surface characterized by a slightly soiled appearance. The colors, neon orange and light blue, which appear on the underside of each cube are in good condition and retain their original vibrancy. The white cubes are well secured and retain their crisp edges. Some dust can be seen on the cubes. Two minor repairs were executed on the bottom edge where nicks in the wood occurred. These repairs were not visible. No significant scratches or abrasions were noted on the surface. The wood construction is structurally sound.
