Arman

Overall in very good condition. The surfaces of the metal present with a more saturated patina when viewed in person that it appears in the catalogue illustration. With a few minor surface scratches, minor abrasions and light surface dirt consistent with gentle use and age. With a few minor areas of oxidation visible on the catalogue illustration. The glass top is in good condition with a few minor surface scratches and one minute abrasion to the edge. A highly sculptural work by Arman showing his true expertise as artist.
