Large Two Forms, Bronze sculpture at Federal Chancellery, Bonn, Germany.
Large Two Forms is a bronze sculpture with two curved elements that nearly meet and measure 6.1 meters in total length. The shapes are arranged to create a conversation between two separate forms.
The sculpture was created in 1969 by Henry Moore, the British sculptor who shaped modern art in the 20th century. It came from a period when Moore increasingly placed his works in public spaces.
The work shows how postwar artists explored new ways to express movement and space through form. Visitors can observe how the curved lines guide the eye and create shifting impressions depending on where they stand.
The sculpture stands in an open plaza next to the Chancellery and is accessible during daylight hours. It is worth viewing it from multiple sides since it appears different from various angles.
Although the two forms appear like natural organic objects, they are based on abstract geometric language. This blend of nature and mathematics makes the sculpture work in every season.
