Condition
This work is in good and sound condition overall. There is wear and black abrasions visible throughout that disrupt the patina, some of this appears to be intended by the artist. There is evidence of scattered pitting throughout, and there are some light handling marks visible under raking light. There is evidence of oxidation on the reverse, as is expected for a work installed outdoors. There are chips to the edges of the base and a crack at the bottom right corner of the base. The base comes apart into 4 pieces and there are some gaps where the parts join.
