Condition
This work is in very good and stable condition overall. There is light dust within the crevices and evidence of minor wear and handling throughout both shoes. There are faint discolorations throughout, particularly seen on the proper left shoe along the two front phallus forms. Visible only under close inspection and certain raking light, there are scattered areas of very fine and stable hairline craquelure. This work is registered with Yayoi Kusama Inc.
