  • talosel and mirrored glass

Provenance

Hemisphere Gallery, London

Condition

Overall in very good condition. The piece has been recently restored as it was slightly out of the round and mirror was loose. The piece is in good condition, with some minor losses to the glass along the frame. Approximately 17 of the panels lacking the glass overlay over the foil insets. None of the losses impact the overall appearance of the work. There are minor losses to the silvering beneath the glass inclusions to the frame which is visible in the catalogue illustration and consistent with the aging process of the mirror. The central mirror in this example is a convex mirror.
