Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. There is visible wear and handling to each letter and in some cases noticeable scratches and losses, as well as stains, minor oxidation, dents, paint loss, cracks and soiling, all of which is inherent to the medium as found objects. The letter 'A' exhibits a crack along the top of the element, which has been stabilized and consolidated.

Catalogue Note

“Certain words aren’t good when you describe artwork—like ‘sentimental,’ ‘romantic,’ ‘poetic,’ and ‘pretty.’ But those are my favorite qualities of anything.” Jack Pierson, 1992
