About the Artwork:

Large Four Piece Reclining Figure 1972–73 (LH 629) is a bronze sculpture by Henry Moore. Approximately 4 metres (13 ft) long, the sculpture was made an edition of seven full size casts (plus an artist's copy), all cast by the Hermann Noack foundry in Berlin. 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.
