This work is in very good and sound condition overall. There is scattered evidence of wear and minor spots of paint loss visible along the edges. An element appears to have broken off from the center of the box form on the left and some of the wood appears to have detached from the front circular piece.. A light dust has settled in some of the crevices.

"An artist whose restlessness is reflected in a continuously powerful and regenerative body of work, Nevelson is inextricably part of the continuing history of twentieth-century sculpture. She has extended the properties of illusion into the vocabulary of sculpture and fixed the ephemeral, nonspecific, and nondelineable into the repertory of art."

Arnold B. Glimcher, Louise Nevelson, New York, 1976
