Condition
This work is in very good and sound condition overall. The letter elements have dents, abrasions, and paint loss scattered across their surface, which is inherent to the found material and the artist's working method. The interior of the "S" and "E" letter forms have dust and dirt accretions. There is also evidence of oxidation and paint loss to the sides and edges of the metal elements.
