"There is an organic flowing quality and a shared sense of interest in form that strongly connect Moore and Zaha's work,"
Gregor Muir, curator
This has been a fantastic opportunity to view over 70 rare and unseen works from the Henry Moore Family Collection. The small-scale sculptures and works on paper have been beautifully presented in a set designed by 'Starchitect' Zaha Hadid and colleague Patrik Schumacher. Together they have masked the lower gallery’s red silk walls with a dramatic curving cocoon of linen and created bold organic platforms to display Moore's miniature sculptures.
This is a wonderful smaller Gallery on London's Old Bond Street and well worth a visit. Keep an eye on their website for more interesting shows planned for the next few months.
