Henry Moore. Venice Biennale 1948
Catalogue of a solo exhibition of works by Henry Moore organised by The British Council for the 1948 Venice Biennale, the first Venice Biennale since the war. Moore was awarded the International Sculpture Prize that year.
”For the 1948 Venice Biennale – the first one after the war – the British Council decided to have just my sculpture and Turner paintings which was a very sensible thing. But I doubt that one would have won the Biennale sculpture prize that year without the real groundwork and the real impetus that The Museum of Modern Art retrospective provided. Really the foundation where the international side of one’s career is concerned – that international thing happened through The Museum of Modern Art exhibition.” – Henry Moore in Henry J. Seldis, Henry Moore in America, Phaidon, London; Praeger, New York 1973, p.67
