Condition

Overall in very good condition. When viewed in person, the patina is beautifully nuanced with greens and dark brown. The surfaces with minor surface scratches, traces of oxidation and surface dirt consistent with age and gentle handling. The base is possibly original and presents with a minor chip to one lower corner and light surface dirt. A very good example of an iconic Bertoia sculpture with great presence.
