Condition
The orange painted panel appears to be in good condition and the paint is tightly bound. A small nick was noted on the top edge of the orange panel. Two hairline scratches in the paint were noted on one side of the orange panel adjacent to the pinstripe panel. One of the pinstripe panels has several areas where it has been previously inpainted. The artists signature appears on the bottom of the orange panel. The orange paint next to the signature is different from the rest of the panel indicating that the panel has been restored at a later date. Two sets of painted wires are suspended in front of the pinstripe panels. The wires are in good condition and are all accounted for.
