Pictured here: Moore, Warrior with Shield, 1953-54 (LH 360), bronze, edition of 5 + 1. Height: 152.5cm. Art Gallery of Ontario, Gift from the Junior Women's Committee Fund, 1955. #54/12.
Join Art Gallery of Ontario’s Curator of Modern Art, Michael Parke-Taylor, at the Gardens this Thursday, June 10 at 7 p.m. for the Curator Lecture Series: “Henry Moore: Reputation/Reception/Recuperation.” Examine a darker side to Henry Moore that comes to the fore in the 1930s, informed by contemporary developments from both surrealist and abstract camps (Picasso, Giacometti and Arp).
Once Moore had achieved international fame after WWII, what was his reception in the U.K. and particularly in Toronto? How does his reputation need to be recuperated in order to assess his true achievement? How have contemporary artists responded to Moore? Turner Prize winning British artist Simon Starling will provide the test case.

Dr. Timothy Standring
Kicking off our curator series on Wednesday, May 12, Timothy Standring from the Denver Art Museum will join us for what will undoubtedly be a no-holds-barred, frank discussion about Henry Moore’s work at Denver Botanic Gardens. Limited reservations are available to take a walk with Timothy around the Gardens. Hear Timothy’s thoughts and opinions about the work and its significance. Following the walk will be a lecture where Timothy will unpack Moore’s pre-cultural notions of sculpture, investigating the ideas that shaped Henry Moore’s forms. If you haven’t heard Timothy speak before, you’re in for a big treat. He’s funny and wicked smart. Register here.

Henry Moore Sculpture Exhibit at Denver Botanic Gardens
Henry Moore is here. As a marketer and pr professional at the Gardens, my first thought was “Who Is Henry Moore?” when I first understood the exhibit would be arriving in 2010. I knew the name. I majored in art in college but have drifted away from some of my art history roots over the years.
