Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. There is slight bowing to the support structure of the lead mounted to panel, inherent artist's working method and chosen medium. There is evidence of wear and handling along the edges and corners, with associated minor abrasions along the bottom edge. There is evidence of drip accretions scattered throughout the lower quadrant. Upon close inspection, there is evidence of two minor 1/2 in. dents near the bottom center edge region with associated minor losses. Unframed.

"I like very much the qualities of lead—the surface, the heaviness. Some of the paintings were completely painted, and you only experience the lead at the edges; this gives the painting a very heavy feeling—it gives the color a different density and weight. I like to react on things; with the normal canvas you often have to kill the ground, give it something to react against. With the metals you already have something—its scratches, scrapes." Günther Förg
