Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate Condition: This work is in very good condition. There is an uneven surface patina to the work with some light handling marks and oxidation in places throughout. All surface irregularities, scuffs and scrapes are in keeping with the artist's working process and choice of media. Close inspection reveals some loosening to the central metal element, which remains stable.

"I was designated as an 'artist' because no-one knew how to define a heap of coal. But I'm a painter, and I lay claim to my initiation in painting because painting is the construction of images, it doesn't indicate a manner, even less a technique... Jackson Pollock was a painter who reinvented the American space with morality. Mexican murals are paintings, Duchamp himself was a painter. Liberalism has given painting freedom as far as the imagination can go, and has re-endowed the artist with a fully intellectual role' (Jannnis Kounellis cited in: Exh. Cat., Vence, Château de Villeneuve / Fondation Emile Hugues, L'Élémentaire, le vital, l'énergie: Arte Povera in Castello, 2004, p. 57).
