Condition

Overall very good condition, consistent with age. The two bush forms with a slightly greener oxidation (when compared against the catalogue illustration) and the bud with a slightly deeper purple/gray oxidation, all as intended by the artist. A few rods slightly bent out of line which is not visually disruptive to the overall composition. An atypical form for Bertoia, it demonstrates his love for experimentation of form and presents well overall.
