The sculpture in Stavanger was placed outside Stavanger Kunstforening in 1965, when Dame Hepworth decided to sell it at less than half price to ensure that one of her works was placed in Norway. In the spring of 2014 the Stavanger Kunstforening decided to sell the sculpture to improve their financial situation, a decision which has created an uproar in the city of Stavanger. The sculpture was sold at Auction by Christie's to a client of Stephen Ongpin, a London art dealer, for $4.17 million including commission <ref>{{Cite web|date=2014-07-23|title=Making Barbara Hepworth (and Other Brit Artists) Hip to the Rest of the World|url=https://www.artmarketmonitor.com/2014/07/23/making-barbara-hepworth-and-other-brit-artists-hip-to-the-rest-of-the-world/|access-date=2021-07-31|website=Art Market Monitor|language=en-US}}</ref>
