Lot 2972 | Henry Moore
(1898 Castleford - 1986 Much Hadham) nach"Unesco Reclining Figure" (Ruhende Figur für die Unesco). OriginaltitelWeißer Carrara-Mamor. Verkleinerte Skulptur nach der berühmten monumentalen Travetrinskulptur, die Henry Moore 1957/58 für den Platz vor dem neuen Unesco-Hauptquartier in Paris schuf. Moore wählte bewusst einen hellen Stein, um die Skulptur von den dunklen Fenstern des vom Bauhaus-Architekten Marcel Breuer entworfenen modernen Gebäudes abzusetzen. Die Skulptur stellt eine stark abstrahierte, liegende, weibliche Figur mit erwartungsvoll und wissbegierig erhobenem Kopf dar. Diese wurde in weich fließenden, für Moore charakteristischen Bogenformen und aus dem durchbrochen gearbeiteten Steinblock herausgearbeitet. Sie spiegelt als Archteyp des Weiblichen sowohl die weibliche Erde als auch die Quelle des menschlichen Lebens selbst wider, hiermit zugleich die Ziele der Unesco. H. 102 cm. B. 175 cm. T. 75 cm.After Henry Moore (1898 - 1986). Contemporary posthumous Carrara marble sculpture after the "Unesco Reclining Figure".
