Theft and recasting of figure

[edit]

One of the three figures at Roehampton University was stolen in 2006, possibly to be sold asscrap metal.[5][6][7] The remaining figures were placed into storage shortly afterwards. In 2014, the University obtained permission from Chadwick's estate to recast the missing figure and the sculpture was returned to its original location in full.[8]
