Condition

The sculpture appears to be stable. There are four pieces of red felt attached to the underside of the sculpture. There are small areas of paint loss and rubbing at the extreme edges, corners, and the underside of the work. The largest of these is at the top of the long diagonal form. There is surface dirt across the work particularly in the pitted areas. With the exception of the above the work appears to be in very good condition. Please contact the department on +44 (0) 207 293 6424 if you have any questions regarding the present work.
