Sculptors' Papers from the Henry Moore Institute Archive
This essays examines the stories behind some of London's most radical public sculptures, drawing on the Henry Moore Institute's rich Archive of Sculptors' Papers, a collection developed in a unique partnership between the Institute and Leeds Museums and Galleries.
Becoming Henry Moore
Coinciding with the fortieth anniversary of the Henry Moore Foundation, and accompanying an exhibition of the same name, Becoming Henry Moore tells the story of the artist's creative journey between 1914 and 1930, from gifted schoolboy to celebrated sculptor. Displaying artistic skill and ambition from a young age, Moore spent his early years studying the art of the past and of his contemporaries, absorbing a wide variety of sculptural ideas and forms as he developed his own individual and now iconic style. Sebastiano Barassi presents a lively account of this formative period, from Moore's time at Castleford Secondary School, where his talent was first spotted, through his active service in ...
Taking Shape
"This exhibition challenges the reasons why sculpture is usually considered alone, in the gallery, and the decorative arts are considered as part of a period setting. It suggests that by breaking away from these conventional categories we can see how sculpture is also part of a spatial conversation, and how furniture and fittings can be appreciated as unique works." "With five original essays and forty complete catalogue entries, this publication both documents an exhibition and goes beyond it, opening our eyes to the fluidity of formal language in the 'long' eighteenth century, and to the ways in which objects can change according to whether they are seen together or apart, as mobile or fixed, as two- or three-dimensional, as ideal or as functional." --Book Jacket.

The Rise and Fall of Flint Jack
Flint Jack was a nineteenth-century vagabond and highly skilled artisan from Yorkshire. He sold fake megalithic axe heads, and ceramic and stone carving forgeries that, despite their lack of historical providence and verification, still populate many museums throughout the UK.Accompanying an exhibition of Flint Jack artefacts at the Henry Moore Institute in summer 2019, this publication expands on Flint Jack's methodologies, with in depth research uncovering many of his notorious exploits.An essay by Irish artist Sean Lynch explores the life and times of Flint Jack, making connections between his oeuvre and dialogues of contemporary sculpture practice. A series of drawings by Mexican artist Jorge Satorre details mischievous behaviour by Jack, recalled from his ramblings around Victorian Britain.Published on the occasion of the exhibition, The Rise and Fall of Flint Jack by Sean Lynch, at Henry Moore Institute, Leeds (22 June 22 - 29 September 2019), as part of Yorkshire Sculpture International.
The New Monumentality
A combination of historical and contemporary material, this publication accompanies an exhibition which explores the appeal of post-war monumental architecture to contemporary artists and takes as its departure point the work of Chamberlin, Powell and Bon (architects of the Barbican) in Leeds. The artists have a common interest in the after-life of utopian modernism and in the aspirations - social, political and aesthetic - of the 1960s. Published on the occasion of the exhibition The New Monumentality at Henry Moore Institute, May - August 2009.
