Sheep Piece 1971–72

Sheep Piece in June 2014

Sheep Piece is a bronze sculpture by Henry Moore, catalogued as LH 627. One cast is situated on the Seepromenade in the Seefeld district of Zurich, another in the Kansas City Sculpture Park in Kansas City.^[1][2]

The sculpture has stood on the promenade since 1976, when it was sited as part of an exhibition of Moore's work.^[3]

In the book Makers of Modern Culture, Patrick Conner describes the "power" of Sheep Piece as not only lying in the "physical confirmation of two massive structures but also in the psychological overtones of warmth and protectivness that their relationship suggests".^[4]
