When Terry Frost died, he was working on a commission for a large-scale sculpture for the new University Hospital of Coventry & Warwickshire, due to open in 2006. The financial implications were complicated and unfortunately this commission did not happen. The rights to the maquette were subsequently acquired by the Estate of Terry Frost and the Beaux Arts Gallery, which produced a limited number of small models. The design is a manifestation of the shapes visible in Frost’s two-dimensional work. One can only imagine how impressive a nine-foot version of this sculpture would have looked at the entrance to the hospital.
