More InformationThe chapter entitled 'Sitings of Public Art: integration versus intervention' contains two brief quotations from Henry Moore. On his indifference to the site: Once I have been asked to consider a certain site where one of my sculptures might possibly be placed I try to choose somthing suitable from what I've done or from what I'm about to do". On the suppression of the conditions of the site: "To display sculpture to its best advantage outside it must be set so that it relates to the sky rather than to trees a house people or other aspects of the surroundings"."
