Condition
Overall very good condition. The desk is slightly more red in color, than it appears in the catalogue illustration. The top of the desk is showing more yellow in the catalogue photograph than in actuality. The edges of this desk with some slight nicks and dings consistent with age and use. One of the chairs with a very shallow surface scratch, only visible upon close inspection. This lot was executed during Judd’s life and comes from the esteemed collection of Claes Oldenberg and Coosje van Bruggen.
