15⅞ x 53⅞ x 29⅝ in. (40.3 x 136z.8 x 75.3 cm)
Condition Report:
Overall in very good condition. Characteristic of Evans’ “Argente” series, this table presents with a variety of abstract motifs, surface treatments and dynamic contrasts between black and reflective silver. The metal surfaces overall present with irregularities and great texture which are inherent to the artist's practice. The metal and inked surfaces present with faint scattered scratches, light scuffing and small indentations consistent with gentle handling, as well as instances of oxidation and minimal tarnish consistent with age.
The tops of 5 of the cubic elements with small adhesive residue likely from protective pads, measuring approximately 3/8 in. in diameter each and not visually distracting. The top of one element with an added bumper to create an even surface for the glass to rest level.
The glass presents in excellent overall condition with very small surface scratches and soiling throughout.
