Henry Moore's West Wind (1928) carved from Portland stone, was his first public commission.

The relief is placed high on the walls of 55 Broadway, London Underground Limited's headquarters above St. James's Park tube station. The seven 'winds' on the other walls were carved by Eric Gill, A.H Gerrard and Samuel Rabinovich.

The architect Charles Holden commissioned several contemporary sculptures to decorate his art deco building. Most controversially, the pair of sculptures Day and Night by Jacob Epstein which sit above the two main entrances. When the building was completed in 1929 it was the graphic nakedness of Epstein's sculptures that triggered a newspaper campaign to have the sculptures removed.

When courting his future wife Irina, Moore took her on an early date to watch him carving this sculpture.

The photographic reproduction of this work is covered under United Kingdom law (Section 62 of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988), which states that it is not an infringement to take photographs of buildings, or of sculptures, models for buildings, or works of artistic craftsmanship permanently located in a public place or in premises open to the public. This does not apply to two-dimensional graphic works such as posters or murals.

This work might not be available under a free license in the United States because it is based on an artwork or sculpture that may be protected by copyright under U.S. law. (Commons is hosted in the United States and as such, U.S. law is applicable.) In the source country of the artwork or sculpture, taking photographs of such works permanently located in a public place does not generally infringe on their copyright, under a principle known as "freedom of panorama". In U.S. law, there is no freedom of panorama for artwork or sculptures, and under the choice-of-law principle lex loci protectionis, U.S. courts might apply U.S. freedom of panorama standards to this work, rather than the standards of the source country. However, in practice, it is unsettled whether and how this approach would be applied in real-world U.S. legal cases involving freedom of panorama elements. The current policy on Commons is to accept photos of artwork and sculptures that are covered by freedom of panorama in their source country. This policy may change in the future, depending on the outcome of community discussions and new case law. This is not a valid license tag on Commons; this file must be usable under freedom of panorama in its source country or it will be deleted. català ∙ Deutsch ∙ English ∙ español ∙ français ∙ italiano ∙ português ∙ português do Brasil ∙ sicilianu ∙ македонски ∙ 한국어 ∙ 日本語 ∙ 简体中文 ∙ 繁體中文 ∙ +/−
