Large Vertebrae
While visiting Münster, Henry Moore selected a location for a sculpture that the LBS had already been interested in acquiring years earlier. The work’s specific position — surrounded by nature on the grass along the Aasee — as well as the lighting conditions, time of year, and landscape are directly related to its appearance.
Moore’s abstract sculptures are typically inspired by organic forms, especially elements of human bodies; accordingly, this work is based on vertebrae. It is made up of three similar elements that are arranged close together, but not connected. They look as if they were formed directly in nature. There is no apparent main view, and visitors are instead encouraged to move around the three elements and see their changing relationships, exploring the different overlaps, interactions, open spaces, reflections of light, and shadows.
