Henry Moore: War and Utility contains over 200 artworks by Moore , ranging from sculpture, drawing and textiles. Also on display are a selection of documents from the Henry Moore Foundation archive and private collections, including letters, exhibition catalogues, photographs of the period and souvenirs from the Festival of Britain.

Exhibition Info: Henry Moore: The Sixties presents a fascinating insight into Moore’s life and work during this pivotal decade in his career. The exhibition reveals the dramatic shift in his working practices that enabled him to work on an increasingly monumental scale; his move towards greater abstraction; and the enormous global demand for his work during this period, along with the controversy this generated. The exhibition feautures sculptures, drawings, graphics and archive material drawn entirely from the Henry Moore Foundation’s collection.
