"By foregrounding process, experimentation and education, as well as a remarkable range of Moore's sculpture, the presentation reveals a more rounded and dynamic understanding of Moore as a great and versatile artist, but also a scholar, teacher, advocate and champion of the history and potential of sculpture."
"The barn was originally a steel-frame farm building used for storage by Moore, and was later adapted by the architects Hawkinsrown in 1999. Now, following a £5m refit by the London-based architecture and urban design practice DSDHA, the building opens on 1 April with an improved suite of exhibition galleries and two purpose-built learning studios."
The Sheep Field Barn gallery at Henry Moore Studios & Gardens will open on April 1 after a £5m renovation. The gallery features improved exhibition spaces and learning studios. One gallery focuses on Moore's life and work, contextualizing him within 20th-century art and history. Godfrey Worsdale emphasizes the importance of process and education in understanding Moore's versatility as an artist and advocate for sculpture. The surrounding 72-acre parkland showcases many of Moore's significant sculptures, reflecting his deep connection to the landscape over 40 years.
