Description: Monograph on the life and work of the architect Gordon Bunshaft of the firm Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill. Many mentions of Moore, beginning (p.79) with Bunshaft approaching him as a potential designer of a sculpture to go outside the Chase Manhattan building designed by SOM; Moore turned down the commission. Other Moore topics include: Bunshaft's relationship with Moore, and his ownership of works by Moore (in total 29, including Helmet Head No.1 (illus), Two Piece Reclining Figure No.4, and Three Rings); the Lincoln Center Reclining Figure; and the Banque Lambert, which a cast of Locking Piece sits outside.
