About the work

Figures was made in 2008, a year after Monument monument, a monumental drawing, measuring 600 x 300 cm, that was based on all of Henry Moore’s sculptures. It was one of the components of Noble’s epic Nobson Newtown for which he drew all of the places that he imagined were necessary to make ‘a town’ over an eighteen-year period. Noble went on to produce more drawings in the series in which he, ‘bellmerised’ (after artist Hans Bellmer) the sculptures of Henry Moore. Bellmer’s photographs of artist and poet Unica Zürn bound with string created an abstract morphology that Noble applied to the sculptures of Moore.

Maximum bids

You are more likely to be the winning bidder if at the outset you place a maximum bid i.e. the maximum amount you are willing to pay for the work. Your maximum bid is not visible to other bidders. If another bidder exceeds your maximum bid you will receive an automatic notification. If you have placed a maximum bid the auction site will automatically place bids on your behalf, but only as much is necessary to make sure that you remain the highest bidder, until it reaches your maximum bid. These automatic bids are placed in increments, as shown above.
