Revolt & Revolutions

0023713 Revolt & Revolutions Helen Pheby Yorkshire Sculpture Park Wakefield

Leaflet accompanying the Revolt & Revolutions exhibition held in the Bothy Gallery at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park. Inspired by a Noam Chomsky quote, "Optimism is a strategy for making a better future", the exhibition is made up of works in the Arts Council Collection which give insight into modern anti-establishment and counter-cultural movements. Mentions of Moore, p.3, as a "cornerstone" of the YSP loan collection, and p.5 as one of the artists whose works are in the Arts Council collection. p.21 discusses Moore's Helmet Head No.3, exhibited in Room 2. Mentions of Moore's opposition to nuclear weapons, and his use of the armour in the Wallace collection as inspiration for the Helmet Head series.
