LARGE SPINDLE PIECE

Outside King's X Station stands this loaned sculpture by Henry Moore.
The 1974 three-metre-tall bronze called Large Spindle Piece is on long loan from the Henry Moore Foundation. It was carefully selected, director Richard Calvocoressi said, to suit the vertical lines of the Grade I listed station in the background. It was also selected because it is impossible to sit on and very difficult to climb. Loaning one of Moore's reclining figures would be asking for trouble, the foundation felt.
