Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. There is some minor wear with associated pinpoint loss to the turning edges. Under Ultraviolet light inspection the diamond passages on the surface fluoresce and become visible, in keeping with the artist's intent and chosen medium. There are a few pinpoint areas of studio splatter, presumably of this same pigment, that fluoresce under Ultraviolet light inspection. Under Ultraviolet light inspection there is no evidence of restoration. Unframed.
