The Arch, Bronze sculpture at Cleo Rogers Memorial Library, Columbus, US
The bronze structure rises 20 feet into the air, featuring flowing curves that form an abstract representation of human anatomy and movement.
Henry Moore created this sculpture in 1971, selecting a German foundry to cast the 11,000-pound structure in 50 separate sections for assembly.
The sculpture integrates with I.M. Pei's library design, forming a central element of the plaza that connects multiple architectural landmarks in Columbus.
Visitors can observe the changing surface colors of the bronze, which has developed different patinas where rain contacts the metal over time.
The hollow form weighs 5.5 tons and required transportation by barge and truck from Germany to its final location in Indiana.
