Sonsbeek '58: international sculpture exhibition in the open air

International Sculpture Exhibition in the Open Air

International sculpture exhibition, with 220 works by 128 artists.

5th International Sculpture Exhibition at Arrnhem - Sonsbeek '66

Now open at Gagosian’s Athens gallery until 26 October, Henry Moore and Greece is the first exhibition of Moore’s work in Greece for twenty years.

Henry Moore: The Sixties presents a fascinating insight into Moore’s life and work during this pivotal decade in his career. The exhibition reveals the dramatic shift in his working practices that enabled him to work on an increasingly monumental scale; his move towards greater abstraction; and the enormous global demand for his work during this period, along with the controversy this generated. The exhibition feautures sculptures, drawings, graphics and archive material drawn entirely from the Henry Moore Foundation’s collection.

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.
