Condition
Colour: The colour in the catalogue illustration is fairly accurate, although it fails to fully convey the reflective qualities of the mirrored surfaces. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Close inspection reveals some superficial scuffs, scratches and media accretions in isolated places to the Plexiglas cubes. Further very close inspection reveals some light surface dirt, handling marks and wear in isolated places to the canvases.
