Condition report
A Christie's specialist may contact you to discuss this lot or to notify you if the condition changes prior to the sale.
The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.
The work is structurally sound and all elements appear to be present. There is fine layer of surface dust. There are a few pinpoint accretions in places, most notably to the lower edge of the letter 'B'. There are a few minute black spots within the neon tubes in places, predominantly to the lower edge of the blue heart. Subject to the foregoing, it is our view that the work appears to be in generally very good condition.
Please note that the work is currently mounted on a Plexglas backing board for display purposes, which is not considered a part of the work and should be removed when installed.
