Grange Park, Toronto

Grange Park, Toronto
Henry Moore's Large Two Forms is probably the most popular public sculpture in Toronto, now that Ivor Lewis's statue of Timothy Eaton is less accessible to the public. Part of the collection of the Art Gallery of Ontario, from 1974 to 2017 it stood at the corner of Dundas Street West and McCaul Street, at the northeast corner of the AGO. In 2017 it was moved to Grange Park, which is owned by the AGO, at the southwest end of the gallery.

Thanks, William. Usually I catch a highlight or two, but this one worked.

Veneration (of Moore???) or just yoga?

I'm not sure, Bob. I figured yoga or just plain exercise, but he kept his head toward the sculpture. Exercise with a view perhaps.

A lovely setting. Beautiful curving shapes and very tactile I think.

It actually is a better setting than its old one, Jean, but a bit out of the way. Tourists aren't likely to stumble upon it, for example.

There are far worse things than Henry Moore sculptures to bow to, too, Sarah.

A lovely park and interesting sculpture, complete with a devotee it appears.

The park is right downtown but still very restful. George. As I mentioned to Sarah, there are worse things to be devoted to.

Well seen John. The beautiful light coming through the trees lights up the statue perfectly. The man on the right is either worshiping he statue or has lost a contact lens.........I can't decide which!

Thanks, Keith. The AGO has done a really good job with this sculpture. It's been played on by kids for 44 years but the gallery has maintained it really well. And as you pointed out, the setting here is excellent. it reminds me of some sort of ancient religious site in the woods.
