2021 Perry Green, Sculpture in the Landscape at Henry Moore Studios & Gardens

31 March 2021 - 19 December 2021
More Information

On the grounds of their home in Perry Green, Hertfordshire, Henry and Irina Moore created the ideal environment in which to make and appreciate sculpture. A network of studios scattered across seventy acres facilitated a lifetime of creativity. The outdoor space enabled Moore to work on a monumental scale and to test the siting of his sculpture.

Irina transformed the land around their home into a series of outdoor galleries – open to the air, light, and subject to the shifting seasons. The Henry Moore Foundation continues to display an annually changing selection of sculpture in the grounds today.

Exhibition Info: In 2023, more than twenty monumental bronzes inspired by natural and human forms are displayed in the landscape at Henry Moore Studios & Gardens, adjacent to the studios where Moore developed ideas. Multi-part reclining figures are joined by some of his purest organic abstractions and works exploring his most iconic themes, the mother and child, the reclining figure, and the juxtaposition of internal and external forms.
2024 Perry Green, Sculpture, Inspiration and our Natural Worlds
28 March 2024 - 03 November 2024
Exhibition Info: In 2024, a selection of over twenty of Moore’s bronzes will be displayed in the landscape adjacent to the studios where he developed his ideas. Natural and human forms can be seen to have inspired sculptures across all of Moore’s most iconic themes: the mother and child, the reclining figure, and the juxtaposition of internal / external forms. A number of Moore’s multi-part reclining figures, where he asks the viewer to imaginatively piece together the body, are joined by some of his purest organic abstractions in which we can trace the journey from handheld pebble to monumental work.
