Henry Moore's Large Two Forms (1966-1969), is located at the entrance to Purchase College just off Anderson Hill Road where it greets students, faculty, staff, and visitors. Alumni still fondly refer to the statue as a focal point of their memories on the new and still-developing campus.

Art in the Open.

Start your tour of our outdoor art collection the moment you drive onto the Purchase College campus. Some works are visible from your car. Others are meant to be explored on foot.

Thoughtfully placed throughout the grounds—sometimes in unexpected corners—you’ll encounter sculptures of stone, steel, and natural materials. These objects engage deeply with their surroundings, echoing the textures, forms, and rhythms of the landscape, and inviting a richer connection between art and nature.

Reaching far beyond the Museum walls, this outdoor art collection will guide you directly to our front door!
