Viewing Henry Moore, Hauser & Wirth Somerset

Get yourself to Hauser & Wirth Somerset to see the buzzy new exhibition of works by Henry Moore. Curated by Hannah Higham of the Henry Moore Foundation in collaboration with the artist’s daughter, Mary Moore, it examines the artist’s early fascination with the Neolithic site of Stonehenge and continued exploration of the upright abstract form. Also under consideration is his career-long investigations into scale, material and volume.

Installed across the garden and all five galleries, the exhibition brings together seminal works from across his six-decade career, including four towering bronze Upright Motive sculptures and Locking Piece (1962-63), which is made up of two large interconnecting forms stacked one on top of the other.

You’ll also encounter a significant series of etchings and lithographs depicting the site of Stonehenge, dating from 1972, and around 100 items from Moore’s studio. Shown together, they provide a rare insight into the working life of the modernist sculptor.

Once you’ve worked up an appetite exploring the exhibition and Piet Oudolf’s glorious garden, take yourself to Roth Bar and Grill for lunch. Order the pan fried sea bass before tucking into the rhubarb and custard pavlova. Trust us, you won’t regret it.
