Condition
Overall in very good condition. The bench with some abrasions, scuffing, light surface scratches, consistent with gentle use. The recessed areas with occasional very minor evidence of oxidation. The back of the bench with occasional residue and areas of faint discoloration. On the reverse of the bench, the proper left side with an area of tarnish, not visually distracting. The present model is an example of futuristic design from the iconic artist Thomas Heatherwick, who is also the designer of the newly constructed Hudson Yard landmark, The Vessel.
