This exhibition of 86 works by Henry Moore brings the legacy of this great artist closer to the citizens of Macedonia and Montenegro. The exhibition includes maquettes and prints from the British Council Collection, some of which were donated by Henry Moore for the 50th anniversary of the British Council in 1984.

While on display at the NI Museum of Contemporary Art Skopje the exhibitions was seen by 13.000 people, including David Mitchinson, former Head of Collections and Exhibitions at the Henry Moore Foundation, and a long standing friend of the artist.

For over 30 years David curated major exhibitions of Moore’s works all over the world. Read his article about the Skopje show and Moore’s artistic legacy on the British Council Voices blog, and watch a short video with David guiding you through the exhibition.

Glossary

  • Contemporary

    Existing or coming into being at the same period; of today or of the present. The term that designates art being made today.

  • Installation

    An artwork comprised of many and various elements of miscellaneous materials (see mixed media), light and sound, which is conceived for and occupies an entire space, gallery or site. The viewer can often enter or walk around the installation. Installations may only exist as long as they are installed, but can be re-created in different sites. Installation art emerged in the 1960s out of Environmental Art (works of art which are three-dimensional environments), but it was not until the 1970s that the term came into common use and not until the late 1980s that artists started to specialise in this kind of work, creating a genre of ‘Installation Art’. The term can also be applied to the arrangement of selected art works in an exhibition.
