This work is registered in Archivio Arnaldo Pomodoro, Milan, no. AP417.

'I care how the details function. I want the view at close quarters to be a totally different but related experience. I insist that the sculpture surfaces be read carefully and slowly, even though just a moment before you saw the ensemble forms as essentially geometric and monumental' (Pomodoro, quoted in S. Hunter, 'Monuments and Anti-monuments', pp. 57-77,F. Gualdoni (ed.), Arnaldo Pomodoro: Catalogo ragionato della sculptura, Vol. I, Milan, 2007, p. 63).
