More Information

Henry Moore: Late Large Forms is an exhibition of large-scale sculptures from the latter part of Moore's career. Curated by Anita Feldman, Head of Collections and Exhibitions of The Henry Moore Foundation, it is a collaboration with Gagosian Gallery, realising the extraordinary opportunity of siting for the first time some of the artist's monumental works indoors.

Moore's large-scale sculptures celebrated the beauty and power of organic forms at a time when traditional representation was largely eschewed by the vanguard art establishment. Their size and presence have a physicality that promotes a charged relation between sculpture, site, and viewer.

A fully illustrated catalogue will accompany the exhibition, featuring essays by Anita Feldman, and Anne Wagner.

"We are delighted to be collaborating with Gagosian on this major exhibition for their Britannia Street space, and to have the opportunity to show these important monumental works by Henry Moore from our own collection indoors for the first time."  Richard Calvocoressi, Director, The Henry Moore Foundation.

Exhibition Info: Photographer Bill Brandt (1904-1983) and Henry Moore (1898-1986) first met during the Second World War when they both created images of civilians sheltering from the Blitz in the London Underground. Widely disseminated through news media and exhibitions, their haunting depictions of this human crisis became defining images of the war. This major exhibition begins with these early works and traces the artists’ parallel and intersecting paths across the post-war years, revealing their interdisciplinary range and the sculptural dimensions of photography, drawing and collage.
