This work is in good condition overall. There is evidence of minor wear and handling resulting in several very minor pinpoint losses to the pigment along the edges and corners. Under very close inspection, there are a few scattered fine surface scratches and very minor, faint abrasions particularly on the underside roughly 1 centimeter from the rear edge, on the upper center compartments and the left blue lower compartment. Only perceptible under very close inspection and raking light, there are a few very small shallow protrusions to the aluminum on the reverse of the brown compartment and two on the top of the blue compartment.

"Three dimensions are real space. That gets rid of the problem of illusion and literal space, space in and around marks and colors...Actual space is intrinsically more powerful and specific than paint on a flat surface.” Donald Judd
