2000 Andros, Basil & Elise Goulandris Foundation, Henry Moore: In the light of Greece

25 June 2000 - 17 September 2000
More Information
Henry Moore: In the light of Greece presented a broad selection of sculptures, drawings, graphic works and tapestries, drawing attention to the influences, visible and less obvious, which the art of ancient Greece exercised on him. The exhibition goes some way to correcting certain misunderstandings and misconceptions of Moore's work which have previously portrayed the sculptor as indifferent to the aesthetic values of Ancient Greek art.

Curated by Roger Cardinal, Professor of Literary and Visual Studies, University of Kent at Canterbury.

2022-23 St Albans/Doncaster, Henry Moore: Drawing in the Dark
16 December 2022 - 26 August 2023
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.

17 September 2021 - 23 January 2022
Exhibition Info: Configuration brings together a small, focused selection of sculpture, drawings and collages highlighting Henry Moore’s ceaseless investigation into form, material and volume. Throughout his lifetime, Moore collected objects such as bones, stones, shells and driftwood which he would turn over in his hands, build up, press into clay, cast, or photograph. This haptic practice saw Moore humanise these forms, and capture their relationship to the body both physical and imaginative.
