In 1955 I was asked to consider making a sculpture for the courtyard of a new building [Olivetti] in Milan... I visited the site and a lone lombardy poplar growing behind the building convinced me that a vertical work would act as the correct counterfoil to the horizontal rhythm of the building. This idea grew ultimately into the ‘Upright Motives’.
