Munich, Modern Art Museum, Sammlung Gunter Sachs, 1967, illustrated

Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue are fairly accurate although the illustration fails to fully convey the three dimensionality of the metal elements. Condition: This work is in good condition and in full working order. There are light handling marks scattered around the outer edges of the box and a few further handling marks, rub marks and isolated media accretions on the black painted surface. The work would benefit from a light clean. Upon close inspection there is some very light tarnishing to the aluminium elements.
