Condition
The illustration does not convey the intensity of the IKB blue (Blue Klein) from the original work.
Under very close inspection, one superficial tiny rub mark (approx 0.4 x 0.4 cm) is visible near the shoulder blade.
Under very close inspection, light retouchings are visible on the back at the very botoom of the base of the sculpture.
This work is in excellent condition.
