More InformationThree Piece Sculpture: Vertebrae, 1968-1969 bronze is installed on the plaza of First National Bank of America. Nowhere in Moore's prolific output have organic and formal elements been more felicitously wedded than in this full-blooded and self-supporting piece. Its component forms are completely realized and work as masses in opposition as the artist intended them to do. Seen from an office window 18 floors up Moore's Seattle piece seemed to be serenely floating above its pool its reflection dispelling its massiveness in a magical manner.""
