Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. The motorized component is in good working order and is fitted for a US electrical outlet. Under close inspection, there are signs of faint handling and very minor surface scratches throughout the work. There is light handling to the metal hardware, and minor wear to the screen component. Under close inspection, there are some scattered minor pigment losses noted and signs of stray adhesive, due to the artist's working method. Unframed.
