September 25, 1978

The 11’5″ tall, 1,200-pound “Large Standing Figure: Knife Edge” sculpture created by internationally famous British sculptor Henry Moore was placed on its circular marble base on Metrocentre’s pedestrian mall at Capitol Avenue and Main Street in downtown Little Rock (Pulaski County). It had been purchased by Little Rock’s Metrocentre Improvement District at a cost of $185,000. The work, considered to be among the state’s most noteworthy public sculptures, was moved to its present location on Union National Plaza at Capitol Avenue and Louisiana Street in 1999 when the pedestrian mall in Little Rock was reopened to traffic.
