Focus on Three Way Piece No.2: Archer and explore the Smaller models.
The work had begun life in 1964 as a plaster maquette, probably based on a stone that Moore had collected.  Many of Moore's maquettes for larger works were cast in bronze, but the maquette for the Archer never was.  A medium-sized version of the sculpture, Working Model for Three Way Piece No.2: Archer, was cast in bronze in edition of seven, along with an artist's cast.  The Working Model is 78 cm long and 79 cm high.  The artist's cast is now owned by the Tate, which was presented the work by Moore in 1978. The bronze Working Model was first exhibited at the Marlborough Galleria d'Arte in Rome in 1965.A unique marble version of the Archer, about the same size as the Working Model (78 cm x 75 cm) was carved by Moore in 1965, and is owned by the Didrichsen Art Museum in Helsinki, which acquired the work in 1967.
