Initially displayed inside the gallery, it was moved to its present site in 1911, where the sculptor felt it was "swamped by heavy masonry".{{citation |mode=cs1 |url=http://www.tate.org.uk/art/artworks/fehr-the-rescue-of-andromeda-n01749/text-summary |title=The Rescue of Andromeda by Henry C Fehr |first=Heather |last=Birchall |date = September 2003 |publisher=Tate |access-date=31 August 2014}}
