Tate Sculpture

Millennium Galleries, Sheffield

THE HUMAN FIGURE IN BRITISH ART FROM MOORE TO GORMLEY

A major survey exhibition of post-war British sculpture from Tate.

Tate Sculpture is the latest in a series of Tate Partnership exhibitions following the hugely successful William Blake: Inspiration and Illustration at the Graves Art Gallery, and is the first to showcase sculpture in Millennium Galleries. All exhibits will be from Tate collections.

Tate Sculpture will display 20 major works focussing on the human form, by internationally renowned masters such as Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth, alongside contemporary artists such as Sarah Lucas, Ron Mueck and Antony Gormley. The exhibition will also include video sculpture by legendary British artists, Gilbert and George and photography by Keith Arnatt.

Tate Sculpture will showcase works in a wide range of media and of differing scale from a monumental bronze sculpture by Moore, to more intimate pieces made from unconventional, contemporary materials. In Moore’s creation, King and Queen, the artist intended to combine naturalistic elements such as hands and feet with more abstracted features, such as the head. In contrast to Moore’s imposing figures, Mark Quinn uses his own body. No Visible Means of Escape is a hollow polyurethane rubber cast of Quinn’s naked body, split up to the neck and described by Quinn as ‘an extreme moment of transformation, a violent shedding of the skin’.
