Another eight, in 1972, were made not from the plaster, but from one of the 1949 bronzes. Two more were made in 1972, one of which is displayed at the Tate Modern in London. Two were made in 1949, one of which is displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and other one at the Museum of Twentieth Century in Milan. Two casts were made in 1931, one of which is displayed at the Museum of Modern Art in Manhattan. His plaster cast is displayed at the Museu de Arte Contemporânea in São Paulo. The form was originally inspired by the sight of a football player moving on to a perfectly weighted pass.īoccioni's work was in plaster, and was never cast into bronze in his lifetime.

The figure is also armless and without a discernibly real face. As a pedestal, two blocks at the feet connect the figure to the ground. The sculpture has an aerodynamic and fluid form. 'Unique Forms of Continuity in Space' (1913) is a bronze Futurist sculpture that depicts a human-like figure apparently in motion.
