Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate. The catalogue illustration fails to fully convey the three-dimensionality of the work and the optical variations apparent in the original dependent on the viewer's position. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Very close inspection reveals that a small number of the laminated plastic partitions are slightly warped. There are a few fine dust fibres and isolated pin-prick sized media accretions inbetween the partitions. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
