Awarded the gold medal. On receiving the medal Duveen stated that: 'I feel that modern and contemporary Sculpture has been in need of a more adequate display. Sculpture should have its own environment and its own method of lighting and display. There is a real need of a gallery in the West end, not too far from Bond Street' (see Royal Society of British Sculptor's 'Annual Report, 1936', 1937, p. 5).
