One More Wall Well Done

A wall has been raised, the job is finished. The bricklayer looks at the result of his completed work with pleasure and satisfaction and says with appropriate pride: 'One More Wall Well Done'.

The site-specific artwork on the Southern facade of the First building in Rotterdam, covers a wall surface measuring three and half metres high and twenty seven metres long. A message has been left on the wall, written in relief with brick letters. The text becomes visible in the play of light and shadow.
Anyone listening well, hears an echo. The brick relief 'One More Wall Well Done' is also a compliment, a homage to the artwork 'Wall Relief No.1' (1955) by Henry Moore, which is located on the Northern facade of the building.
