Condition
This work is in very good and sound condition overall. The elements move freely and smoothly. There are faint scratch marks and abrasions visible throughout, inherent to the artistÂ’s chosen medium and working method. There is also light evidence of oxidation at the joints, consistent with a work that has been placed outdoors. There are small dents on two of the outermost corners of the moving elements.
