Contemporary Public Sculpture: tradition, transformation and controversy.
Skip to main content
Quotes Moore on his preference for outdoor sites, and acknowledges that Moore's sculptures with their gently undulating curves and combined allusion to figure and landscape seem most comfortable when sited in nature." Notes that 75% of Moore's works are in America and that during the 1960s there was a general increase in his public commissions although he was wary of working with architects and architectural sites. Mentions his work with Gordon Bunshaft of S.O.M. (Skidmore Owings & Merrill) including Lincoln Center Reclining Figure 1963-1965 bronze. "It is difficult today to think that Moore...could in the 1960s be considered avant-garde or revolutionary"."
