2022 Bruton, Hauser & Wirth, Henry Moore: Sharing Form
27 May 2022 - 04 September 2022
This exhibition takes as its starting point the artist’s early fascination with the Neolithic site of Stonehenge and continued exploration of the upright abstract form. Moore first encountered the prehistoric monument under the moonlight as a young man in 1921. He was inspired by the grandeur of the idea – a powerful and primal work of art set in the landscape.
More InformationHenry Moore was one of the most internationally celebrated artists of the 20th Century. While the human figure remained his primary subject, forms and principals from nature expanded his sculptural language - bones, stones, shells and plants spoke of growth, support, protection and decay.
This exhibition takes as its starting point the artist’s early fascination with the Neolithic site of Stonehenge and continued exploration of the upright abstract form. Moore first encountered the prehistoric monument under the moonlight as a young man in 1921. He was inspired by the grandeur of the idea – a powerful and primal work of art set in the landscape.
From outdoor works which articulate their environment and envelope the spectator, to an intimate display of objects from Moore’s home and studios, this exhibition presents a rich visual biography of Moore’s profound comprehension of the power of form and the relationship between art and human experience.
'Henry Moore. Sharing Form', is curated by Hannah Higham of the Henry Moore Foundation in collaboration with Mary Moore, the artist's daughter.

Exhibition Info: Drawing in the Dark is the largest exhibition to date of Moore’s coalmining drawings, completed in 1942 for the War Artists’ Advisory Committee. When Moore was asked to record the coalminers working to power wartime Britain, he chose to visit the mine his father had worked in, Wheldale Colliery in Castleford, where he spent a week drawing from observation. Subsequently, he worked from memory to create the remaining drawings which were all completed within six months. This fascinating body of work reveals the back-breaking labour endured by nearly 3/4 million miners as they made their vital contribution to Britain's war effort, while also providing new insights into Moore’s life and artistic process.
