Condition

07/06/2026: In my opinion regarding LOT: 1227- Please note I am not an expert on kinetic  works, as described in the online listing the work is signed lower right, see image, the kinetic composition changes imagery as the viewer moves, the effect appears to function as intended with the images remaining clear, crisp and fully legible, within the left silvered mirrored quadrant I observe a series of uniform vertical linear features extending through that section, their consistent orientation and appearance suggest they may be inherent to the construction of the work, however I am unsure so have taken images for your review, otherwise I note only light surface dust and minor wear, the frame is structurally intact with scattered minor nicks and finish wear along the edges, the inner white liner at the lower left corner exhibits a small split and is slightly loose, overall the work presents well with the kinetic effect functioning as intended and the imagery remaining vivid and well defined
