LONDON.- Radical, experimental and avant garde,
Henry Moore (1898-1986) was one of Britain’s greatest artists.
This
major exhibition will re-assert his position at the forefront of progressive
twentieth-century sculpture, bringing together the most comprehensive selection
of his works for a generation. Henry Moore will present over 150 significant
works including stone sculptures, wood carvings, bronzes and drawings. Tate Britain opens the most
important exhibition of Moore works for a generation. It hopes to surprise those
who think they know Moore – and he is mostly known for his enormous postwar
outdoor sculptures – as well as introducing him to a whole new audience.
