Courtyard



Courtyard, marble, 21 x 26.5 x 2.5 cm., dates from 1985 and was commissioned by Harlow Council.  It sits in the Gibberd Gallery within the Civic Centre.  The Essex town also houses Vertex, Mason's first commissioned public work and his first major work Hinge purchased by Sir Frederick Gibberd.  It was chosen to celebrate Alan Mead's service to the town as its Treasurer.  Sir Frederick Gibberd, the town's Master Planner, stimulated the collection and placing of works of contemporary art throughout the town.
