GAGOSIAN PRESENTS “HENRY MOORE AND GREECE”

The Henry Moore exhibition at Gagosian Athens offers a powerful exploration of the British sculptor’s mastery, particularly his ability to transform the human form into monumental, organic shapes.

What makes this exhibition particularly engaging is its interaction with the city of Athens itself. Moore’s work, often rooted in the natural world, finds a unique resonance against the backdrop of Athens’ ancient history and architectural heritage.

The sculptures, with their dynamic interplay of solid and void, echo the classical forms of Greek antiquity while simultaneously challenging traditional notions of space and sculpture. In this context, Moore’s work seems to transcend time, establishing, with his simply astonishing esthetic, a natural dialogue between ancient and contemporary.
