Condition
This work is in very good and sound condition overall. There is evidence of wear, oxidation and scattered surface accretions, which are consistent with a work installed in an outdoor environment. The hole in the seat of the bench is inherent to the artist’s working method as it is intended to accommodate a tree or bush.
