Henry Moore at Kew Gardens
Sunday July 15, 2007
Dates: 15 September 2007 – 30 March 2008
28 large-scale bronze Henry Moore sculptures will be exhibited throughout Kew's unique 300 acre World Heritage Site landscape, making this the first exhibition of its kind ever to be held in London. The exhibition highlights the inspiration that Moore took from nature and his enjoyment of seeing his works in a landscape setting.
I am excited to see the exhibition change throughout the seasons as the backdrop changes from a blaze of autumnal reds and golds, through the cool light and stark outlines of winter, to the riot of spring color with fresh green leaves and bright yellow daffodils and purple crocus carpets.
I can't imagine a better setting for seeing Henry Moore's work - and I'm sure he would have felt the same.
