The Arch is a six-meter-tall sculpture carved from travertine marble that anchors the landscape of Kensington Gardens. Its origins trace back to a humble fragment of bone that Henry Moore kept in his studio. He transformed this small, organic shape into a massive structure, viewing the bone as the fundamental inner architecture of all living things. When you stand before it, you are seeing a sculpture that Moore intended to feel as though it were bursting with internal life and energy.
