Original Plaster and Casts
Boccioni's work was in plaster, and was never cast into bronze in his lifetime. His plaster cast is displayed at the Museu de Arte Contemporânea in São Paulo. Two casts were made in 1931, one of which is displayed at the Museum of Modern Art in Manhattan. Two were made in 1949, one of which is displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on New York and other one at the Museum of Twentieth Century in Milan. Two more were made in 1972, one of which is displayed at the Tate Modern in London.) Another eight, in 1972, were made not from the plaster, but from one of the 1949 bronzes.

Into nowhere, a hole like the black holes in space.”
