About this Item

Exhibition catalogue, 21 June - 20 July 2012 . Fully illustrated 72 pages publication with an essay by Peter Davies. It is largely through the work of one of the most fascinating sculptors of the Twentieth Century, Henry Moore, that Britain took an important place in the international mainstream of art in the early part of the century. His work greatly influenced the course of world sculpture and marked the beginning of the modern tradition in Britain. In 1952 the exhibition New Aspects of British Sculpture in the British Pavilion at the XXVI Venice Biennale brought to the world s notice the extraordinary fact that Great Britain now had a remarkable number of highly gifted sculptors quite capable of establishing an international ascendancy. Six of the sculptors who participated in that significant event are represented again here Kenneth Armitage, Reg Butler, Lynn Chadwick, Bernard Meadows, Eduardo Paolozzi and William Turnbull. And with them, the two sculptors who paved the way for them, Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth. Seller Inventory # 7mmx51
