Less is Moore
Henry Moore is one of the most frequently exhibited sculptors in the world. MICHAL BONCZA looks at a revelatory collection of posters that advertised these shows
TO CELEBRATE the 125th anniversary of Henry Moore’s birth the Henry Moore Archive unveiled a fascinating digitised collection of more than 400 posters designed to signal Moore’s many exhibitions through the years.
“It’s a unique resource showcasing Moore’s exhibitions and his international reach. It’s also a fascinating look at the evolution of graphic design over the decades,” said archivist Emma Stower.
