Condition
This sculpture is in excellent condition. There is a tiny spot of retouched paint loss on the outer rim, located between 7 and 8 o'clock, which is extremely well-matched. Above this spot, on the unpainted side edge of the rim, there is a very faint white wiped down linear accretion. The reverse of the disc is unpainted steel with inherent surface signs of the manufacture process. To the best of our knowledge, the sculpture weighs approximately 1200 lbs.
