Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although there is more contrast between the blue and black elements visible in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Extremely close inspection reveals a few minute nicks with associated specks of loss in places to some of the hanging elements, which is in keeping with their mobile nature. Further close inspection reveals a minute and unobtrusive chip to the extreme edge of one of the blue hanging elements. Extremely close inspection in raking light reveals a few superficial and unobtrusive scratches to the clear Plexiglas.
