Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is brighter and more vibrant in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. On extremely close inspection, some minute dust particles are adhering to the inside of the lower edges of the Plexiglas frames, with some further particles also visible to the outside of the lower rims of each element. Also visible on close inspection, the top right edge of the centre left panel is very slightly bent and there are a few extremely minor specks of wear in places to the extreme edges of the frames.
