Condition

This work is in good condition overall. The Cor-ten steel shows signs of oxidation which are consistent with the artist's choice of medium and working method. There is evidence of surface soiling throughout and there are scattered surface scuffs, scratches, accretions and abrasions which is to be expected from the nature of the work's execution and display.
