Henry Moore and the Challenge of Architecture
Skip to main content
In his interviews and written statements, Moore repeated that he did not like working with architects, that doing so symbolised for him the subservient relationships between sculptor and architect, and that architects only thought of sculpture as an afterthought, as 'mere surface decoration'... This exhibition, in five sections, looks at both completed and abandoned projects to assess how Moore changed his approach to architecture throughout his career.
