Please note the colours in the online catalogue illustration may vary depending on screen settings.

This work is in very good condition. Close inspection reveals some small and unobtrusive craquelure to the mirrors, more notably across the left and upper edges, which is in keeping with the age of the work. Further close inspection reveals some signs of wear, and some minor dents and very faint and light scratches to some parts of the aluminium, which is in keeping with the artist's working process. There are some scattered signs of aging to the plaster, which is part of the natural aging of the work. The wooden original frame has some wear and minor cracks, which is also in keeping with the age of the work.

Provenance:
Acquired directly from the artist by the present owner in 2004
