Doug Aitken

303 Gallery, New York
Acquired by the present owner from the above

This work is in good condition overall and the electrical components are in good working order. There is evidence of light wear and handling to the sides and edges of the lightbox. There is faint surface scratching on the Plexiglas, which is only visible under raking light and not visible when the lightbox is on. There appears to be an unobtrusive undulation throughout the print, which is most noticeable when the lightbox is off. There are minor imperfections in the print, most notably in the top quadrants and near the edges of the lightbox. There is evidence of wear and handling to the back of the lightbox as well as scattered scratches and minor indentations, which is most likely a result of the work being installed and removed from the wall overtime and can only be seen when the piece is not installed.
