Hill Arches by Henry Moore, Karlsplatz, Vienna

“Hill Arches” by Henry Moore, 1973

Vienna, September 2017

“Hill Arches is a bronze sculpture by Henry Moore, catalogued as LH 636. The piece is made of four separate parts, three of which are described by Roger Berthoud, Moore's biographer, as being stirrup-shaped; the fourth is a large sphere. One cast is situated in the Karlsplatz in front of the Karlskirche in Vienna, where it was installed in 1978 – initially to complaints that it disrupted the views of the historic church. Another is sited at the headquarters of Deere and Company in Illinois.” (Hill Arches 1973, Wikipedia)
