Condition Report:
This work is in good and sound condition overall. There is evidence of light wear and handling along the edges as well as faint abrasions visible to the surface, most noticeably along the top left corner and lower right face. There are several areas of discoloration along the edges of the blue work. There are scattered air bubbles in the resin, which is inherent to the artist’s working method and chosen medium. There are scattered pinpoint accretions and areas of discoloration visible upon close inspection. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, the aforementioned areas of discoloration in the blue show darkly and appear to have benefited from restoration.
