Note du spécialiste

The present work was one of three maquettes commissioned by Fergus Gleave when he was Managing Director of Copthall Holdings, the developers of the Sun Life building which is situated at the top of Colston Avenue, Bristol. A different design was chosen for the final six metre high sculpture that still stands in Bristol today.
