Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the whites are slightly brighter in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Close inspection reveals that the resin has slightly yellowed and has some drying cracks in isolated places, which is in keeping with the artist's choice of materials. Very close inspection reveals a few scuffs, scrapes and media accretions to the Plexiglas.
