A bronze sculpture on a black marble base by Henry Spencer Moore (British, 1898-1986), titled Two Torsos, depicting two torsos in movement, was from an original 1960 plaster cast and stood 6 ¾ inches tall. It was signed to the top of the base, and showed an “H. Noack Berlin” impressed foundry mark to the right side. Moore is best known for his semi-abstract monumental bronze sculptures which are located around the world as public works of art. Two Torsos went to a determined bidder for $24,200, in three days of auctions held June 15th-17th by Ahlers & Ogletree, online and live in the new Upper West Side gallery.
