"All interpretations of our works are legitimate, but there is no purpose other than to create something beautiful. Jeanne-Claude would always say, 'we only do works of joy and beauty'."

In good condition. The frame has a few tiny scuffs in places, as well as minor, tiny studio-related plastic residue. The glass has very few tiny studio-related paint residues
