Condition
Overall in good condition. The balls are extremely light, imparting the piece with a great freedom of movement. The black surfaces with minor surface dirt, several balls with a few minor evidences of white house paint residue, only visible upon close inspection. One of the largest balls with a small vertical cut line, four of the smallest balls with minor cracks that are not at all visually distracting. When viewed in person, the balls present with a very soft surface, and the sense of volume and materiality of the variously sized balls contrasts with the feeling of lightness and mobility of the work.
