The sculpture was bought by Harlow Art Trust in 1963. Initially, the trustees commissioned it in bronze-effect fibreglass. However, as his fibreglass techniques were quite experimental at that stage, Chadwick offered a bronze version instead. The cast, produced in a Swiss foundry, was sited in 1966. When considering the new works for the town centre, Harlow Art Trust passed on several artists, including Anthony Caro, before settling on Chadwick. Lynn Chadwick went out of fashion for a while but when Tate Britain put on major retrospective to mark his death in 2003, the sculpture’s value doubled in about six months. ‘Trigon’, like Henry Moore's ‘Upright Motive No. 2’, illustrates how surroundings change, as phone boxes now obstruct views of the sculpture from certain angles.
