Explore the History of this artwork.
In 1996, the British artist Brian Clarke was approached by the Swiss Bank Corporation to design a work of site-specific art for their new headquarters in Connecticut, as part of the City of Stamford's Percent for Art programme. The artwork was to be situated in a landscaped park being laid out adjacent to the headquarters complex, now named Gateway Commons. The following year, SBC Warburg was merged with U.S. investment bank Dillon, Read & Co. to create Warburg Dillon Read, and at the time of the work's completion, following the merger of the Swiss Bank Corporation and Union Bank of Switzerland, was operating as UBS Warburg. The Stamford Cone was formally dedicated on 3 June 1999.
