Moore is one of Britain’s most celebrated and pioneering modern artists and is a key figure for the Arts Council Collection; he was an important advisor to the acquisitions committee during the early 1950s, shaping the sculpture collection by advocating the acquisition of a significant group of post-war British sculpture by artists including Kenneth Armitage, Lynn Chadwick and Barbara Hepworth.
Moore’s representation within the Arts Council Collection is very strong with sculptures and works on paper spanning five decades. This show brings together the Collection’s complete holdings of eleven sculptures and fifteen works on paper, spanning some 50 years.
