Created in 1969 and given to the city of Houston in 1979, Large Spindle Piece is a large bronze sculpture by famed master sculpture Henry Moore near Allen Parkway at Buffalo Bayou Park. Inspired by his visit to the Vatican, the twelve-foot sculpture consists of abstract curves, hard points, sharp edges, and negative space. As one of the many respected public art pieces along Allen Parkway, the work sits on a large grassy area across the Federal Reserve Bank and offers viewers a breathtaking view of the Houston skyline.
