Art in the garden: Henry Moore
Art in the garden can function in many ways. One way is by creating a focal point or dominance. The Henry Moore’s at the New York Botanical Garden were an incredible example of this. Besides how a piece will function it’s also important to remember the proper scale of art to be effective in a space. The scale of these pieces were perfect with the vast scale of the gardens.

This piece is beautiful. How large was it? It looks like bronze, is that right? I like how it focuses attention. I’m sure everyone who passes does like you did….peek through it.
It was massive with incredible dominance!
