Grosser Totem

There are quite a few monuments and statues scattered around the city centre of Nuremburg including the Henry Moore sculpture called Grosser Totem (1968) along Karolinenstraße facing St. Lorenz Church.What you see here is an upright sculpture that resembles something like a nut or pod sliced in half, smooth, textured and curved on one side, split down the middle with a small vertical column and gap embedded into the other side. It is a peculiar abstract image worth spending a couple minutes to examine if you a fan of art and sculptures and happen upon this Henry Moore work while visiting Nuremburg.
