In 2022, employees from the Port of San Francisco discovered 48 abandoned artworks in Crane Cove Park on this bench. Now those works, many of them by an obscure but important Jewish artist Ary Lochakov, are headed back to Paris.

"Thirty-eight of the 48 pieces—which included drawings, prints and paintings crafted with an obviously skilled hand—had variations of the name Ary Arcadie Lochakov."
