In 1959 he won first prize at the John Moores exhibition in Liverpool for his ovoid Large Object and won the David Bright prize at the 1962 Venice Biennale.[1] From 1959 to 1962 he was engaged on a commission to construct a large cast aluminium relief mural (6.4 x 6.1 m) for the new Bodington Hall student accommodation complex at the University of Leeds. The significance of this work was considered such that the building was scheduled Grade II listed on grounds that he was a leading sculptor; it represented his first large scale output in his great period, and its high aesthetic quality.[3] When the Hall was demolished, the mural was transferred to another University of Leeds building.[3]
