In 1952 Henry Moore received the commission for the design of the balustrade of the London Time-Life building at the corner of New Bond Street and Burton Street. The architect Michael Rosenauer was known for his skilful combination of art and architecture. Accordingly, Moore faced the challenge of adapting his art to the local architectural requirements by making several gypsum casts in 1952. The balustradeconfines the terrace of the office building towards the street. Moore's process of creation and the artistic experimentation with the architecture are documented in several gypsum models in which Moore varies form, number and arrangement of his figures. This cast is not based on the final version, but on a previous variant.
