This piece was acquired directly from the artist, and was recently cleaned by the artist. With some light tarnishing to some of the coins throughout, which is consistent with the material's natural aging process. This is a functional couch with a particularly dynamic form. It represents an early example of the artist's experiments with furniture using nickels for the structure. Please note the measurements of this lot: Height: 29 5/8 inches Length: 89 1/4 inches Width: 39 1/2 inches
