Condition Report:
The work is in very good and sound condition overall. All 16 elements and the base of the work are present and stable. There are areas of oxidation and discoloration in the hinges and along the crevices, as expected with the artist’s chosen medium and working method. There are minor surface abrasions, scuffs, and accretions on the surface and most notably on the base. Future buyers may contact the Fundación Escultor Berrocal for assembly instructions.
