Comment

The bench was given to the museum by Peter Tillou. It was originally used as guest seating in the galleries but Cathy Fields took it off public use in 1987 and put it into the collection. It was not formally accessioned until 2009 but given a 1975 number as that is when it entered the museum's possession.
