Radical, experimental and avant-garde, Henry Moore (1898–1986) was
one of Britain's greatest artists. This stunning exhibition takes a
fresh look at his work and legacy, presenting over 150 stone sculptures,
wood carvings, bronzes and drawings.
Moore rebelled against his
teachers' traditional views of sculpture, instead taking inspiration
from non-Western works he saw in museums. He pioneered carving directly
from materials, evolving his signature abstract forms derived from the
human body. This exhibition presents examples of the defining subjects
of his work, such as the reclining figure, mother and child, abstract
compositions and drawings of wartime London. The works are situated in
the turbulent ebb and flow of twentieth-century history, sometimes

Still Life with Palette, 1972
Oil and Magna on canvas
60 x 96 inches (152.4 x 243.8 cm)
When we think of still lifes, we think of paintings that have a
certain atmosphere or ambience. My still life paintings have none of
those qualities, they just have pictures of certain things that are in a
still life, like lemons and grapefruits and so forth. It's not meant to
have the usual still life meaning.
--Roy Lichtenstein
Gagosian Gallery is pleased to present "Roy Lichtenstein: Still Lifes,"
the first exhibition devoted solely to Lichtenstein's still life
paintings, sculptures and drawings, which span from 1972 through the
early 1980s.
The Neue Galerie adds to its

Berlin Dada, give a vivid and terrifying image of trench warfare (which
the artist had experienced firsthand
