Reclining Figure 1938 (LH 192) is a small sculpture by Henry Moore of an sinuous abstracted human figure. An enlarged version was made in 1984 for the Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation, Singapore. The resulting Large Reclining Figure (LH 192b) is some 9 metres (30 ft) long, making it the largest sculpture made by Moore.

The Arch by Henry Moores

Posted on by Business Motivational Mentoring in MONUMENTS & TRAVEL, ROYAL RESIDENCE

The Arch could be a six-metre tall Roman travertine design situated on the north bank of the Long Water. It was displayed by the craftsman Henry Moore to the country for siting in Kensington Gardens in 1980 – two a long time after his eightieth-birthday show at the Serpentine Display, London.

The Arch is made from seven travertine stones weighing a add up to of 37 tons. The stones were sourced from a quarry in northern Italy. After being dismantled in 1996 due to auxiliary insecurity, The Curve has been as of late reestablished at its unique area in Kensington Gardens by The Regal Parks and The Henry Moore Establishment.

Rebuilding of The Arch In 1996, it got to be clear that The Curve had gotten to be fundamentally unsteady and it was carefully disassembled and put into store. 

Discourses were continuous  approximately the reclamation work required to restore it. From the beginning, The Illustrious Parks and The Henry Moore Establishment – a charity set up by Moore amid his lifetime – worked closely.
