Did you know that in London on New Bond Street there is a beautiful work by Henry Moore on one of the buildings? It is close to the end of Old Bond Street, just above the Loro Piana Boutique in the Time Life Building.
The sculptures are carved fully in 3D with space around them so the light can come through the stone.

It is said that once he finished them and they were in place he wanted to buy them back as he thought that as they are on the third floor people cannot see them properly.
The best place to look at the four abstract pieces is the other side of the street between the Louis Vuitton and Burberry stores.

The artist has many outdoor sculptures in London - keep looking!
