Lost City Arts, New York
Acquired from the above by the present owner

Nancy N. Schiffer and Val O. Bertoia, The World of Bertoia, Atglen, PA, 2003, p. 84 (for a related sculpture)

Overall very good original condition. The metal sculpture with a nice patination throughout. With some areas of light oxidation concentrated to the corners and some minor possible areas of rubbing. The metal display stand is later, and appears to have been specially made and well-suited for this work. A charming example with nice presence and scale.
