David Rago Auctions, New Jersey, June 12, 2011, lot 1401
Acquired from the above by the present owner

Overall in good condition and presentation. When viewed first-hand the stone presents with a lighter grey than in the catalogue illustration. The surfaces with surface scratches consistent with use. The piece was used outside by the previous owner and the stone presents with minor discoloration and a few white circular stains consistent with exterior exposure. The proper back left side of the top with a minor loss to the stone, resulting from a brittle vein and measuring approximately 3 x 2 inches, stable. The underside of the bench with minor surface dirt and discoloration from vegetation contact. A great design with sculptural presence when viewed first-hand.
