More InformationArticle publicising the exhibition Henry Moore in Greece at the Gagosian Gallery in Athens, 12 September 2024 - 26 October 2024.
Drawing on Moore's fascination with Greece and Greek art, which was hugely inspired by his one and only visit to Greece in 1951, the article outlines the impact that Moore had on the people of Greece and young Greek artists at the the time, and reflects on his trip and inspirations.
The success of this latest exhibition is reflected upon by Gagosian Gallery director Christina Papadopoulou, who speaks of the close relationship between Moore and the Greek people and the desire for the younger generation to connect with his work.
