Large Two Forms (LH 566) is a 1966-1969 sculpture by Henry Moore. The monumental sculpture measures 365 cm × 610 cm × 400 cm (144 in × 240 in × 157 in). It comprises two large curving elements that almost meet. The organic shapes, each with oval openings, resemble two human pelvis bones, positioned as if copulating. The work may have a distant relationship to his 1934 sculpture Two Forms (LH 153) in pynkado wood, now held by the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Moore made a small 16.5 cm (6.5 in) plaster maquette of the work that became Large Two Forms in 1966. This maquette (LH 554a) was cast in bronze (LH 554b) in 1976, in an edition of 9+1 (nine plus an artist's cast). Moore carved a single 97 cm (38 in) stone version (LH 555) in red travertine in 1966. The plaster maquette was scaled up into a full-sized version using polystyrene blocks, and was cast in bronze by Hermann Noack's foundry in Berlin, in an edition 4+1 (four made in 1969, plus an artist's cast made posthumously in 1992). The two elements weigh about 3.5 tonnes each.
