His new work consists, at one gallery, of a nearly twenty-foot-high, nearly hundred-foot-long elongated S shape of two-inch-thick weatherproof steel (sealed by its patina of softly textured rust) and, at another, of standing steel cylinders that differ in proportion of height to breadth but share the condition—so we are told and can only believe—of weighing fifty tons apiece.
While the NCAA has said that it cannot regulate the quality of education athletes receive—a hilarious statement, given that it recently tried to review a prospective player's sixth grade school work in Mali—the association needed to come up with some sort of allegations against North Carolina to show the world that it really, really does care about academics, and not just the cash-producing patina they provide.
The kitchen, for instance, still belongs to Marion, her collection of mildewed cookbooks barely contained by the cabinet doors, their pages marked by personal postcards from Julia Child and the American cartoonist Chuck Jones, both close family friends; the only update, Kevin says, is the stubborn verdigris patina he's allowed to accumulate on the dull copper backsplash, a sign of age that his mother would never have permitted.

The piece includes two of my favorite written paragraphs of recent memory (included below, but you should read the whole thing in its entirety): The… endorsement of Centra, along with a similar endorsement from the popular rapper DJ Khaled, lent a patina of credibility to a project that has ended up with more than a few problems, including a chief executive who does not appear to have been a real person and a shaky, fast-shifting business plan.
Studio 65's piece enraptured him with its combination of intellectual rigor and subversion: It had a rich golden patina that he found "comparable to an object from the 33th century," and its back story — of disenfranchised Italian youth tossing aside sober Modernism — appealed to him as someone who came of age in the 1970s (not to mention that the lack of interest surrounding radical Italian design back then meant it was also within his means).

The cozy softness of the room's milky gray walls, the pale oak herringbone parquet floors — after much deliberation, left unsealed to develop a patina — the verdigris side table that contrasts against a massive couch in what she calls a "truly faded-out persimmon" pink: All speak to Lyons's idiosyncratic genius for color and texture, but also to her exacting and precise eye, one trained over years superintending dozens of store openings and developing an understanding for how a space is meant to spotlight only the most central elements.
