Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is brighter and more vibrant in the original and the illustration fails to convey the sculptural nature of the work and the movement of the hanging elements.
Condition: This work is in very good condition. There is a very small paint loss to the centre of the top edge and a small horizontal scratch towards the top left corner of the black panel. No restoration is apparent under ultraviolet light.
