Overall in excellent condition.
Rods tend to splay out slightly towards the top, a natural result of the weight of the ends. Light surface patina throughout in keeping with artist's intent. Few small points of contact to upper edge of several rods from contact.
This work features forty-one rods in alternating rows of five and four. Sold with a certificate of authenticity issued by the Harry Bertoia Foundation and a photocopy of documentation from the archive relating to this work.
