“There is in nature a limitless variety of shapes and rhythms from which the sculptor can enlarge his form-knowledge experience.”
—Henry Moore
Gagosian is pleased to announce “Moore and Malaparte: Rhythm and Form,” an exhibition of small-scale sculptures and drawings by Henry Moore in dialogue with three pieces of furniture from Casa Malaparte, two of them exclusive designs. Opening on January 22 at Gagosian, rue de Castiglione, Paris, the presentation draws unexpected connections between sculptor and designer, including a fascination with crafting organic forms in tune with the natural world and an immersion in the interaction of these objects with their architectural settings.
