Hill Arches 1973

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.[1] One cast is situated in the Karlsplatz in front of the Karlskirche in Vienna,[2] where it was installed in 1978[3] – initially to complaints that it disrupted the views of the historic church.[4] Another is sited at the headquarters of Deere and Company in Illinois.[5]
