Moore at Kew, 30 December 2007

Henry Moore at Kew - "Oval with points" and Palm House

We were keen to see this exhibition over the holiday period, so decided to take advantage of a bright, albeit cold day.

There weren’t many people around, which suited us down to the ground, but probably did little for the fortunes of Kew.

Janie and I have always really liked the Henry Moore stuff.

I remember going to see an exhibition in Battersea Park when I was little and crawling through some of the holes in the sculptures.

Indeed I have subsequently (March 2021) discovered some photos from my hole-crawling day and written up that 1966 exhibition (more thoroughly than this 2007 one) – click here or below:

I am delighted (while mildly disappointed) to report that there was no hole-crawling activity from me (or Janie) at Kew.
