2008 London, Hauser & Wirth, Henry Moore: Ideas for Sculpture

15 October 2008 - 14 November 2008
More Information

"Hauser & Wirth presents a major exhibition of important and previously unseen works from the Henry Moore Family Collection. Our Old Bond Street gallery has been transformed by Zaha Hadid & Patrik Schumacher, whose bold organic creations – specially commissioned for the exhibition – provide a sympathetic and novel context for re-approaching Moore’s oeuvre. Celebrated as the most important British sculptor of the twentieth century, Moore’s radical addressing of the human form and uncompromising vision make him an abiding influence for contemporary artists."

Exhibition Info: This exhibition takes as its starting point the artist’s early fascination with the Neolithic site of Stonehenge and continued exploration of the upright abstract form. Moore first encountered the prehistoric monument under the moonlight as a young man in 1921. He was inspired by the grandeur of the idea – a powerful and primal work of art set in the landscape.
