Condition
Structurally sound.
There are very minimal signs of very slight ware to the white Formica sheet that covers the main body, including several very minor nips and scratches to the extreme right hand edge, and an area of slight and faint paint re-touching in the bottom right hand corner. This may be in keeping with the nature of the artist's technique, as it matches areas of paint elsewhere, and was likely applied to cover a small scratch.
Elsewhere there is minor surface dirt and light surface scratches, only visible upon very close inspection to the clear and red Perspex areas and a slight spot of adhesive (again in keeping with the artist's original technique) to the right hand side of the red Perspex.
This excepting the work appears to be in very good overall condition.
