Condition

Colours: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is brighter and more vibrant in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. There is minor wear at the bottom four corner edges and along the upper rim of the bin. There is a tiny rub mark towards the centre of the top right edge of the bin. There is a further rub mark at the centre extreme right edge of the top right hand side of the bin. There are light scratches intermittently throughout, visible only under a raking light. There are two fixed metal elements at the bottom left of the back of the bin which hold the metal lining in place and two further metal elements to hang the work. There are a few faint irregularities in the plastic of the bin throughout, inherent to the artist's choice of medium. The cut out figures that fill the bin come in a separate custom-made red plastic bag.
