Exhibition Info: Sonsbeek '49: European sculpture in the open air

Exhibition Info: International sculpture exhibition, with 220 works by 128 artists.

Exhibition Info: Lucy Carrington Wertheim (1883-1971) supported many public galleries and young artists, and bequeathed over 50 works to Towner Art Gallery. This exhibition will bring together paintings, drawings and sculptures from her disbanded collection for the first time in 50 years alongside works exhibited in the Wertheim Gallery, which she established in 1930. The exhibition includes Moore’s Head of a Girl which was shown at the Wertheim Gallery’s opening exhibition.

Exhibition Info: 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.

Exhibition Info: Henry Moore in Miniature includes over 60 of Moore’s works that can fit in the hand. It features maquettes for some of his best-known public sculptures, alongside lesser-known works, including the display for the very first time in a museum exhibition of a recently discovered early lead cast of Mother & Child.

Exhibition Info: 50 years after the exhibition at the Forte di Belvedere, the English master Henry Moore returns to Florence. Two sculptures, Large Interior Form and Family Group, are exhibited respectively in Piazza della Signoria and outside the front entrance of the Abbey of San Miniato al Monte.

Exhibition Info: Retrospective exhibition of sculptures and drawings organised by the Arts Council of Great Britain and held at the Tate Gallery in honour of Moore's 70th birthday.

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.

Exhibition Info: In 2024, a selection of over twenty of Moore’s bronzes will be displayed in the landscape adjacent to the studios where he developed his ideas. Natural and human forms can be seen to have inspired sculptures across all of Moore’s most iconic themes: the mother and child, the reclining figure, and the juxtaposition of internal / external forms. A number of Moore’s multi-part reclining figures, where he asks the viewer to imaginatively piece together the body, are joined by some of his purest organic abstractions in which we can trace the journey from handheld pebble to monumental work.
