Three-Way Piece Number 1: Points

Arts & Culture
23
Henry Moore's bronze sculpture Three-Way Piece Number 1: Points, created by one of the best-known sculptors of the 20th century, was intended as "a new kind of sculpture, less dependent on gravity, which could be seen in at least three positions." Teasing the imagination, the entire form weighs a ton and balances on three slender "points." Owned by the Fairmount Park Art Association, it was purchased in 1967, originally installed in nearby John F. Kennedy Plaza, and relocated to this site in 1990.
