Description: | 10th April 1980.
View shows the world famous sculptor Henry Moore at the ceremony for the laying of the foundation stone for the new Sculpture Gallery extension to the Art Gallery, which was to be named after him. Castleford born Moore (1896-1986) was particularly renowned for his sculptures of reclining figures, and at the ceremony it was announced that he would create a sculpture to stand outside the gallery; his 'Reclining Figure' (1980) now has pride of place beside the entrance. The gallery also houses several of Moore's other works alongside those of other sculptures. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Henry Moore Henry Moore Sculpture Gallery Art Gallery | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
