CONDITION: Both sculptures are in good overall condition with intentional weathering and distressing to the painted surfaces. The larger blue and purple figure has a noticeable chip and loss to the wood on the right edge of the blue section. The wire elements are intact but show natural oxidation. There are minor instances of paint loss and natural cracking to the wood throughout consistent with the material and artist's technique.
