Condition:

Please note: As confirmed by the artist's studio, it is possible to use a non-artist light bulb. It can also be an LED with the following requirements: it should look like a classical light bulb / punctiform light / 820 lm / colour of light 2700K (which corresponds approximately with a 60 W halogen light bulb). The work is in good electrical working order. The edges of the colour filter glass are slightly uneven, deemed inherent to the artist's studio. There are three chips to the upper rim of the colour filter glass (approx. 1cm , 0.2 and 0.2 cm in length) and scattered minor scratches, all visible on close inspection. There is discolouration, tarnishing and scratches in places to the steel stand and scratches and wear to the plastic light switch, all visible on close inspection and deemed inherent to the nature of the work and materials used. Otherwise, there are no apparent condition issues with this work.
