Description
This book marks an exhibition of 28 large sculptures placed throughout Kew's unique 300 acre World
Heritage Site landscape, making this the first exhibition of its kind ever to be held in London. There have
been previous exhibitions of Moore's work in the capital but never on such a scale and in a landscape
setting.
Extensively illustrated, the book will encourage readers to engage with the sculptures and landscape on
several levels. They will be drawn around the Gardens to enjoy the sculptures set against a variety of
striking backdrops, from the formal gardens and great glasshouses to the spectacular arboretum.

Henry Moore at Kew Gardens
Supported by The Gatsby Charitable Foundation
The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew is to host a landmark exhibition of monumental works by the
internationally acclaimed sculptor Henry Moore, from 15 September 2007 to 30 March 2008.
The Henry Moore Foundation will curate the exhibition and they have selected a combination of pieces
that have never been brought together before, including some that have never been seen in London.
This powerful exhibition will highlight the inspiration that Moore took from nature and his enjoyment of
seeing his works in a landscape setting.
‘Landscape has been for me one of the sources of my energy… I find that all natural forms are a source
of unending interest – tree trunks… the texture and variety of grasses… The whole of Nature is an
endless demonstration of shape and form.' (Henry Moore; Energy in Space, 1973)
