Henry Moore´s The Archer or Archer (1964-65), bronze, outside Neue Nationalgallerie in Berlin, in October 2004.
The official name of the sculpture is Two-way Piece No. 2. Weight: 2.5 tonnes, length: 340 cm, height: 325 cm.
The first example was erected 1966 on Nathan Phillips Square, outside the City Hall of Toronto in Canada. The Finnish architect, Viljo Revell, had asked Moore to create a sculpture in line with the flowing lines of the Town Hall.
There is also a Working Model (1964) in Henry Moore Foundation, Perry Green, Hertfordshire, Great Britain. Furthermore there is a series of the sculpure in lesser scale (ca. 90 cm), owned by i.a Art Gallery of Ontario (Toronto, Canada), Hirschhorn Museum (part of the Smithonian Museums, Washington D.C., USA), Tate Gallery, London, Great Britain) and University of Florida Architecture and Fine Arts Library. Gainesville, Florida, USA). The Didrichsen Art Museum in Helsinki in Finland has a 78 cm Archer in marble in its collection.
This work has been released into the public domain by its author, boberger. This applies worldwide.
In some countries this may not be legally possible; if so: boberger grants anyone the right to use this work for any purpose, without any conditions, unless such conditions are required by law.
This work might not be available under a free license in the United States because it is based on an artwork or sculpture that may be protected by copyright under U.S. law. (Commons is hosted in the United States and as such, U.S. law is applicable.)
In the source country of the artwork or sculpture, taking photographs of such works permanently located in a public place does not generally infringe on their copyright, under a principle known as "freedom of panorama".
In U.S. law, there is no freedom of panorama for artwork or sculptures, and under the choice-of-law principle lex loci protectionis, U.S. courts might apply U.S. freedom of panorama standards to this work, rather than the standards of the source country. However, in practice, it is unsettled whether and how this approach would be applied in real-world U.S. legal cases involving freedom of panorama elements.
The current policy on Commons is to accept photos of artwork and sculptures that are covered by freedom of panorama in their source country. This policy may change in the future, depending on the outcome of community discussions and new case law.
This is not a valid license tag on Commons; this file must be usable under freedom of panorama in its source country or it will be deleted.
