Synopsis
This book marks an exhibition of twenty-eight large sculptures to be placed throughout Kew's unique 300 acre World Heritage Site landscape, making this the first exhibition of its kind ever to be held in London. There have been previous exhibitions of Moore's work in the capital but never on such a scale and in a landscape setting. Extensively illustrated, this book will encourage readers to engage with the sculptures and landscape on several levels. They will be drawn around the Gardens to enjoy the sculptures set against a variety of striking backdrops, from the formal gardens and great glasshouses to the spectacular arboretum. The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew is to host a landmark exhibition of monumental works by the internationally acclaimed sculptor Henry Moore, from 5 September 2007 to 30 March 2008. The Henry Moore Foundation will curate the exhibition - Henry Moore at Kew Gardens, supported by the Gatsby Charitable Foundation, and they have selected a combination of pieces that have never been brought together before, including some that have never been seen in London.
This powerful exhibition will highlight the inspiration that Moore took from nature and his enjoyment of seeing his works in a landscape setting. 'Landscape has been for me one of the sources of my energy...I find that all natural forms are a source of unending interest - tree trunks...the texture and variety of grasses...The whole of Nature is an endless demonstration of shape and form.' (Henry Moore; "Energy in Space", 1973)About the Author
Contributors include Anita Feldman Bennet, Curator, and Suzanne Eustace, Assistant Curator from The Henry Moore Foundation. Foreword by Robert Calvocoressi, Director of the Henry Moore Foundation.
