May 24–November 2, 2008
View the video review by Time magazine’s art critic Richard Lacayo.
Moore in America: Monumental Sculpture at The New York Botanical Garden is the largest outdoor exhibition of Henry Moore's sculpture ever presented in a single venue in the United States. The 20 colossal works are displayed throughout the Garden's 250 acres and among its 50 gardens and plant collections, providing for an impressive interaction of nature and art such as Moore envisioned. The Henry Moore Foundation, which is dedicated to furthering the understanding, appreciation, and enjoyment of Moore's work, co-curated the exhibition, which is underwritten by MetLife Foundation.
One of the finest botanical gardens in the world and the most treasured and beloved landscapes in New York City, the Garden offers alluring outdoor venues for such an exhibition. When Moore’s grand sculptures are set within the grand scale of the Garden’s landscape, both are transformed.
