Total measurements are 43″ x 20″ x 98.5″, and the weight isn’t listed, although it’s not likely to be a featherweight. Nys Hervé created the piece in 2014, and it’s signed by him, it also comes with a certificate of authenticity.
RM Sotheby’s estimate that it’ll sell for between $12,000 and $20,000 USD, and it’ll be auctioned in New York on the 6th of December.
