With many others I am perplexed as to why anyone would want to move what has become something of an icon for the Art Gallery of Ontario fitting so very well with the contours that were part of the renovation lead by Toronto born architect Frank Gehry. I have no doubt that the approach to the gallery will now bring for many of us an experience of absence – something not quite right. I will be interested to discover what might replace the Moore to signal we are entering an artistic centre. However I have no doubt that the imposing form of the sculpture will grace its new space as it did the space now vacant.
