2017 Seebüll, Nolde Stiftung, Emil Nolde meets Henry Moore
30 April 2017 - 30 Nov 2017
In 2017, for the first time in its history, Nolde Stiftung, the home and Foundation of the painter Emil Nolde is displaying the work of another artist - Henry Moore.
We are delighted to be working with Nolde Stiftung in 2017, the 150th anniversary of Nolde's birth, to present the first exhibition of another artist at his former home in Seebull, Germany.
The home and Foundation of the painter Emile Nolde, with its beautiful gardens, is a perfect counterpart to the Henry Moore Studios and Gardens in Perry Green. Four of Moore’s celebrated sculptures are presented in Nolde’s garden. An exploration of landscape, nature and the human figure was central to the work of both artists and the landscape of North Friesland provides an exciting new context for Moore’s sculpture.
A new catalogue will accompany the exhibition, with extensive illustrations and new research into both artists.

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.
