Dr Robert Burstow has pointed out that “with their slim catalogues, small review literature, and depleted archival materials, the Arts Council’s Sculpture in the Home exhibitions of the 1940s and 50s have received little critical attention. Yet they offer illuminating evidence that alongside the Arts Council’s well known support of ‘public sculpture’, its early mission included a commitment to small-scale domestic sculpture.” They also offer important evidence that the exhibitions were “related to the reconstruction and modernisation of the home and family in post-war Britain.” – Robert Burstow “The sculpture in the home exhibitions: reconstructing the home and family in post-war Britain” in Henry Moore Institute Essays on Sculpture, 2008. This essay was published to accompany the exhibition organised by the Henry Moore Institute SCULPTURE IN THE HOME: RE-STAGING A POST-WAR INITIATIVE Leeds Art Gallery 2 October 2008 – 4 January 2009.
