Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. The canvases are unlined and the steel elements appear stable and well intact. Under close inspection, there are a few pinpoint surface accretions and losses to the steel elements. There is also evidence of dust accumulation to the surface of the canvases as well as some dulled impasto peaks. Only visible under very close inspection, there are a few, scattered pinpoint losses to the pigment and some minor, scattered surface accretions. Unframed.
