Condition

Colour: The colour in the catalogue illustration is fairly accurate, although the carbon fibre is slightly deeper and richer in the original. Condition: This work is in very good and original condition. All elements are stable. Close inspection reveals few abrasions, surface scratches and media accretions in places, which are in keeping with the artist's choice of found media. Further very close inspection reveals some very light oxidation spots to the steel in places.
