Dust and marks can mar the sculpture. Cleaning requires a careful process to avoid damaging the paint or leaving streaks.
The lower surfaces of the mountains require the most frequent cleaning. Similar to a blackboard, the surface of the textured steel, coated with matte black paint, shows dust and marks from contact. The this silver strip you see on the floor has been placed as a reminder that this is a work of art to be appreciated visually. |
