This work is in very good and sound condition overall. The scattered signs of wear, such as scratches and paint loss, are inherent to the artist’s working method and chosen medium. The joins and welds all appear to be secure and intact. As expected with a sculpture of this construction, a light dust has settled in the crevices and on the surface.
