LH 381 Background information: Upright Motive was the first in a series of narrow vertical sculptures by Moore, which he compared to totem poles. The Upright Motives were part of a large commission for the courtyard of the new Olivetti building in Milan. When he visited the site, "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 ultimately grew into the 'Upright Motifs'."
