Description edit

Relatively unusually for Moore's work, the cast is polished rather than patinated. The highly abstract – almost surreal – sculpture comprises four pieces, with the composition reminiscent of a reclining human figure.

Casts edit

One cast is located outside the Louise M. Davies Symphony Hall at the intersection of Van Ness and Grove Streets in San Francisco's Civic Center, in the U.S. state of California.[2][3] The work's estimated cost is between $60,000 and $85,000.[2] The work was displayed in London's Gagosian Gallery in 2012.[4]

Other casts are located at the Lamont Library, Harvard University, in Cambridge, Massachusetts,[5] and at Yamanashi Prefectural Museum of Art in Kofu, Japan.[6] The artist's copy (cast 0) is at the Henry Moore Foundation in Perry Green, Hertfordshire.[7]
