"Henry Moore"
2001-10-21 until 2002-01-27
National Gallery of Art
Washington, DC,
USA
The first major retrospective of Henry Moore's (1898-1986) work to appear in the United States in the past 20 years, this exhibition offers a rare opportunity to reevaluate his seminal role in the development of modern sculpture. Approximately 165 full-scale bronzes, maquettes, carvings, plasters, and works on paper spanning Moore's entire career emphasize the artist's role as a sculptor and his involvement with surrealism and early abstract art. The exhibition also explores Moore's dialogue with architects and his shift from private to public sculptural expression.
