comunicato stampa

The National Gallery of Arts and British Council Albania are pleased to bring for the first time to the Albanian public a personal exhibition of one of the most internationally famous British artists, Henry Moore (1898-1986).

This exhibition includes eighty-six works, of which eighty are framed prints, mainly etchings and lithographs created during the 1949-1983 period, and six are sculptural maquettes in bronze. The exhibition also includes nine contextual photographs of finished works.

The prints are selected from the gift of over 200 prints the artist gave to the British Council Collection in 1984 to mark the 50th anniversary of its founding.

The bronzes in this exhibition are of small size and Moore considered them as maquettes. Moore often produced small-scale models, prior to producing works in their final dimensions, so he could better study their shape.

The photographs show the relationship Moore sought between sculpture and the surrounding landscape. Henry Moore is one of the British artists who has collaborated quite closely with the British Council. He has been fortunate that through the support of the British Council he has been able to exhibit his work around the world.

Moore's works are in important museums and public spaces in major cities across the globe. He has been honoured with many awards and titles; one of the most important being the International Sculpture Prize at the Venice Biennale 1948.
