Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is deeper and richer in the original work, especially in the yellows of the sunflowers. The catalogue illustration also fails to accurately convey the brilliant reflective surface of the polished stainless steel.
Condition: This work is in very good condition overall. Upon close inspection, there are scattered faint handling marks and associated areas of minor discolouration to the polished stainless steel in places along the upper, left and right edges. There is a tiny area of discolouration in the lower left corner, and a tiny rub mark and tiny associated loss to the silkscreen at the base of the plant's pot.
