LH 578
The three part sculpture looks back to his earlier multi-part sculptures of human figures, and also his interlocking works such as Two Piece Sculpture No. 7: Pipe from 1966. Moore started with a plaster maquette in 1968 (LH 578),[3] with three interlocking elements inspired by bones or flints.
LH 579
He created a second larger plaster working model, which was cast in bronze in 1968 as his Working Model for Three Piece No.3: Vertebrae (LH 579),[4] in an edition of eight (plus an artist's copy, which is at the Tate Gallery in London).[5] It measures 94 by 236.3 by 122 centimetres (37.0 in × 93.0 in × 48.0 in). Other casts are held by the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington D.C.,[6] the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto, and Memorial Art Gallery in Rochester, New York,[7] and the Nasher Sculpture Center in Dallas.[8] Others are in private collections.[9] One example was sold at Christie's in 2012 for over £5m.[10]
LH 580
The working model was scaled up in 1968–69 into a full-size bronze sculpture, measuring 9 feet (2.7 m) x 24 feet (7.3 m) x 10 feet 7 inches (3.23 m) (LH 580). The full-size sculpture was cast in edition of three (plus one for the artist). One example is installed outside the Safeco Plaza (1001 4th Avenue) in Seattle, Washington.[11] It was surveyed and deemed "well maintained" by the Smithsonian Institution's "Save Outdoor Sculpture!" program in May 1995.[2][12] The others are at the Israel Museum in Jerusalem,[13] and the Landesbausparkasse in Münster,[14] with the artist's copy at the Henry Moore Foundation in Perry Green, Hertfordshire.
LH 580a
Three Forms Vertebrae (LH 580a),[15] also known as Dallas Piece or Vertebrae, is an abstract bronze sculpture by Henry Moore.[2] It was cast in 1978–79, specifically for a site outside I.M. Pei's Dallas City Hall, and is the largest version of a sculpture that Moore created in 1968. Moore was commissioned in 1978 to create a sculpture to stand in the City Centre Park Plaza outside the Dallas City Hall, for which he scaled up his 1968–69 work Three Piece Sculpture: Vertebrae (LH 580).[8]
