The Henry Moore Institute programmes three major exhibitions a year along with a number of collection displays, fellowships exhibitions and artists’ projects. Since 1999 the exhibitions have increasingly approached the subject of sculpture as a line of enquiry, investigating diverse historical, political and cultural contexts in which sculpture plays a significant role. A characteristic of many of the catalogues in this list is their documentation of exhibition installations – historic and contemporary – in the belief that exhibitions are visual arguments (and should be documented as such).

Hounds in Leash: The Dog in 18th and 19th Century Sculpture Introduction by Stephen Feeke, essays by Steve Baker, Jonathan Burt and Matthew Craske This exhibition brought together a group of British and French sculptures from the 1750s to the 1880s which highlight the unique relationship between owners and their dogs. The artists who made them were particularly renowned for their ability to render the texture, character and spirit of the dogs in ways that are unique to sculpture. Essays look at how the dog acts as a key to reading a changing society from the 18th century to the present. Softback 72pp 300 × 240mm 40 illustrations (20 colour) ISBN 1 900081 47 4 £20.00

well known sculptors – Nollekens, Chantrey, Gaudier-Brzeska, Epstein – were represented, alongside the less familiar – Joseph Gott, Samuel Joseph, Kathleen Scott. Specially commissioned photography in this catalogue takes us close to some of the key decisions made by the sculptors represented, and focuses on the treatment of eyes, skin and musculature as well as on the choices made in the overall design.

Alison Wilding: Contract Penelope Curtis, Alison Wilding In 1988 Alison Wilding was commissioned by a private individual to make a series of significant major sculptures. Twelve years later, and halfway through the series, The Henry Moore Foundation Studio showed the eight works completed to date, which are loosely linked to the story of The Passion of Christ. In 2007, The Contemporary Art Society and The Henry Moore Foundation announced that the eight sculptures were to be presented to UK public collections, including Leeds Art Gallery, through the generosity of an anonymous private donor.

2001 Chris Evans: Gemini Sculpture Park Texts by Stacy Boldrick and Will Bradley Following on from his Henry Moore Institute Research Fellowship, Chris Evans explores the ideas behind corporate sculpture production, the power of branding, corporate culture and the 1980s business park. A small red brick office estate on the outskirts of Leeds becomes a corporate sculpture park designed in collaboration with the company directors and visualised through artists’ impressions by

Close Encounters: The Sculptor’s Studio in the Age of the Camera Jon Wood, introduction by Penelope Curtis Catalogue accompanying the Henry Moore Institute exhibition, which looks at the individual sculptor’s studio. It takes a closer look at how photography articulated a changing notion of the studio and of sculptural endeavour, redefining the objects and environments of sculpture itself. Important sculptures by Brancusi, Giacometti, Lipchitz, Laurens, Despiau and Maillol were displayed in front of large-scale versions of the photographs in which these very works actually appeared.

Second Sight Preface by Tim Llewellyn, introduction by Sir Alan Bowness, editorial by Lewis Biggs, selected writings drawn from exhibition catalogues and essay by Franz W. Kaiser Catalogue documenting the curatorial contribution of Robert Hopper (1946–1999) to The Henry Moore Foundation between 1989 and 1999. It particularly concentrates on the remarkable selection of living artists and illustrates how Hopper and his colleagues supported them in making and displaying work at the Henry Moore Foundation Studio in Halifax, the Henry Moore Institute in Leeds, and elsewhere.

Taking Positions Essays by Ursel Berger, Penelope Curtis, Josephine Gabler and Arie Hartog Published to accompany the exhibition Taking Positions: Figurative Sculpture and the Third Reich, presented by the Henry Moore Institute in association with the Georg-Kolbe-Museum, Berlin and the Gerhard-Marcks-Haus, Bremen. Concentrating on the period after 1933, the cross section of works in this exhibition included sculptors representing a wide range of political opinion, whose careers flourished during the Third Reich as well as those who effectively made their work in isolation. Individual biographies aim to provide some of the basic details about political affiliation and patronage against which artistic production can be measured. Includes specially commissioned installation photography. Text in English and German. Softback 132pp 220 × 300mm 45 illustrations (9 colour) ISBN 1 900081 97 0 £20.00
2002 Second Skin: Historical Life Casting and Contemporary Sculpture Essays by Stephen Feeke and Edouard Papet Organised in collaboration with the Musée d’Orsay, Paris, the Hamburger Kunsthalle and the Museo Vela, Ligornetto, Second Skin explored the connections between the process of life casting and figurative sculpture. It also provided an opportunity to compare how casting was used by nineteenthcentury sculptors and how it is used today. Historical examples were selected from A Fleur de Peau, a survey exhibition at the Musée d’Orsay, and displayed alongside sculptures by Duane Hanson, John De Andrea, Paul Thek and Robert Gober, and contemporary examples by Jordan Baseman, Don Brown, Siobhan Hapaska, Abigail Lane, Sarah Lucas, Marc Quinn and Gavin Turk.

Bik Van der Pol: Catching Some Air Introduction by Penelope Curtis, texts by Liesbeth Bik and Jos van der Pol, Phillip van den Bossche and Lynda Morris In 2000 the award of a Henry Moore Institute Fellowship allowed Liesbeth Bik and Jos van der Pol to use our library for their own research interests, with no immediate outcomes expected. They were particularly interested in the experimental work of artists from the 1960s and 70s – Nauman, Buren, Beuys, Acconci – and the results, a fluttering loose-leaf library of over 200 tracings done in black felt-tip pen, were pinned to the walls of the gallery in Leeds. This catalogue is a facsimile sketchbook, in which all the drawings are reproduced. Softback 320pp 245 × 175mm 142 black & white illustrations ISBN 1 900081 58 X £25.00
the object sculpture Introduction by Penelope Curtis, catalogue entries by Vanessa Adler While sculpture was still fairly hard and fast as a category in 1982, this is no longer the case. This was the starting point for this exhibition. Three very different contemporary artists – Tobias Rehberger (b. 1966), Joëlle Tuerlinckx (b. 1958) and Keith Wilson (b. 1965) – for whom, in various ways, sculpture still has meaning, were invited to make the selection. The show included exhibits from Europe and the United States – largely dating from the last forty years, but on occasion reaching back into the 19th century – all of which meet the criteria of still being ‘new’. Designed by Pae White. Hardback 208pp 147 × 210mm 112 illustrations (86 colour) ISBN 1 900081 73 3 £25.00 Softback ISBN 1 900081 63 6 £17.50

Wonder: Painted Sculpture from Medieval England Stacy Boldrick, David Park, Paul Williamson Published to accompany the exhibition organised by the Henry Moore Institute with the Courtauld Institute and the Victoria and Albert Museum, Wonder presented polychrome sculpture in three forms of encounter: one of intimacy, focusing on the one-to-one relationship between viewer and individual sculpture; one of monumentality, presenting pieces collectively, as part of an architectural screen; and one of perception, illustrating the range of different effects made possible by the application of paint. Softback 120pp 245 × 290mm 72 illustrations (68 colour) ISBN 1 900081 68 7 £25.00
2003 Scultura Lingua Morta Preface by Penelope Curtis, essays by Paolo Campiglio, Flavio Fergonzi, Daria Filardo and Silvia Lucchesi, plus artists’ biographical entries Published to accompany the exhibition Scultura Lingua Morta: Sculpture from Fascist Italy. Scultura Lingua Morta (Dead Language Sculpture) takes its title from a short confessional text written in 1945 by the sculptor, Arturo Martini. The exhibition explored the context for sculpture in the ventennio fascista (1922–1942), inspired by the fascinating mixture of modernism and monumentality that characterised this period. The four principal essays (on Andreotti, Martini, Melotti and Fontana) were commissioned to cover four key conceptions of the monument, each very different. Includes specially commissioned installation photography. Text in English and Italian. Softback 160pp 243 × 230mm 136 illustrations (16 colour) ISBN 1 900081 88 1 £20.00
2004 Object Cultures Essays by Stephen Feeke, James Putnam and Will Rea, with catalogue entries from a variety of contributors Over two years the Institute worked in collaboration with The British Museum on a series of in-focus displays, using the Museum’s collections to examine inscription, unidentified museum objects, magic and masking. The small but innovative displays brought together objects from diverse cultures and periods, but concentrated on visual and thematic qualities rather than the Museum’s usual chronological or cultural criteria. Object Cultures commemorates these exhibitions, bringing together in one volume the information leaflets originally produced to accompany the individual shows, with specially commissioned installation photographs. Softback 32pp 296 × 210mm 30 illustrations (6 colour) ISBN 1 900081 29 6 £6.00
With Hidden Noise: Sculpture, Video and Ventriloquism Texts by Stephen Feeke and Jon Wood, catalogue entries by Liz Aston, Penelope Curtis, Stephen Feeke, Aura Satz and Jon Wood The exhibition With Hidden Noise looked at sculpture and video art in terms of ventriloquism and its animating metaphors by presenting a selection of objects, sculptures and videos that were both evocative and illustrative of voice and voice throwing. This catalogue examines the one-to-one relationship between object and operator, sculpture and maker, and challenges the commonly held assumption that sculpture is a strictly silent art. It looks at the different ways that sculptors have expressed themselves and their ideas through objects and, in turn, at how sculptures have been made to ‘speak’.

Depth of Field: The Place of Relief in the Time of Donatello Preface by Penelope Curtis, essays by Glyn Davies, Martina Droth and Peta Motture, catalogue entries by Stephen Feeke and Katherine Hunt Donatello’s ‘Ascension with Christ Giving the Keys to St Peter’ was acquired by the Victoria and Albert Museum in 1861, and had never previously been displayed outside London. A unique collaboration with the V&A offered an unparalleled opportunity for us to borrow forty works from the Victoria and Albert Museum, including the ‘Ascension’ relief. Published to accompany the exhibition, this catalogue illustrates that relief is an especially flexible form suitable not only for unique objects, but also for a whole range of reproductions. Softback 104pp 165 × 245mm 67 illustrations (48 colour) ISBN 1 900081 39 3 £30.00
2005 Bronze: The Power of Life and Death Preface by Penelope Curtis, introduction and catalogue of exhibits by Martina Droth, essays by Michael Cole and Frits Scholten Bronze was the first time the Institute devoted an exhibition to a single material. The selection concentrated on the objects and artworks which best embody the associations with parallel worlds: with the elements, the senses, the gods, with heaven and hell, life and death. This catalogue aims to reflect the kind of thinking that went into the project and to convey its further possibilities as a subject rich in metaphor and meaning, and the continued magic exercised by a material which seems to represent, at one and the same time, the power of life and death.

Jaki Irvine: Plans for Forgotten Works Jaki Irvine, Caoimhin Mac Giolla Leith, Victoria Worsley During her Henry Moore Institute Fellowship, Jaki Irvine explored some of the least expected areas of the Institute’s archive. Material recording the life and work of the sculptor Betty Rea (1903–1965) particularly caught her attention, and led her to make one of the four pieces which made up Plans for Forgotten Works – ‘For All the Lives We’ll Never Live’ – a sequence of snapshots made into a film which focuses on an intriguing photograph of one of Rea’s friends. Irvine effectively brings the archive – and all the possibilities which it documents – back to life. Softback 40pp 210 × 170mm 48 illustrations (21 colour) ISBN 1 900081 79 2 £10.00
Ettore Spalletti Penelope Curtis In summer 2005, Ettore Spalletti created a new installation for the galleries of the Henry Moore Institute, featuring carefully selected pieces from the last twenty-five years. Oscillating in the bright light of summer, the works echoed the Quattrocento sensibility that is intrinsic to Arte Povera, while being astoundingly resilient in the present day. This catalogue, produced in collaboration with the artist, aims both to document the installation and to convey the quality and texture of his artworks. The three sections, each on a different weight of paper, are pad-bound and fronted by a specially commissioned photograph of the artist in the city of Leeds.

2006 From Navels to Nipples Henry Moore This publication was conceived by Giorgio Sadotti. All source material derives from the library of the Henry Moore Institute and was selected by the artist during 2005. Sadotti’s work centred on circular holes. He removed circles, spanning the navel to nipple area, from a series of images. The remaining pictures, which ‘framed’ the hole, have been published in this book, while the removed circles were on display in his exhibition at Henry Moore Institute in summer 2006. The range of Sadotti’s bibliography covers artists such as Jeff Wall, Yves Klein, Man Ray, Hans Bellmer, Vanessa Beecroft, Auguste Rodin, Oleg Kulik, Alan Jones, Constantin Brancusi and more. This book contains some sexually explicit images.
Antinous: The Face of the Antique Winner of The Art Book Award 2007 Introduction by Penelope Curtis, essay and catalogue entries by Caroline Vout Antinous was the Emperor Hadrian’s young lover, a beautiful youth who drowned mysteriously in the Nile before his 20th birthday. The Emperor, in his grief, commissioned busts and statues of his beloved, and as the cult of Antinous spread throughout the Roman Empire, many more were erected by his subjects. Today Antinous has more sculptures to his name than almost any other figure from classical antiquity. Drawing together loans from several major European museums, this was the first exhibition dedicated to Antique sculpture to be held at the Institute and the first in Britain to explore the mythical image of Antinous. Includes specially commissioned installation photography.

Espaço Aberto/Espaço Fechado: Sites for Sculpture in Modern Brazil Preface by Penelope Curtis, introduction by Stephen Feeke, essays by Michael Asbury, Cacilda Teixeira Da Costa, Felipe Chaimovich and statements by the artists involved The exhibition Espaço Aberto/Espaço Fechado (Open Space/Closed Space) spanned the period from the first São Paulo Bienal of 1951 to the present day, exploring Brazilian Modernism; its new and old centres, its new and old generations, its arriving and departing artists and the importance of sculpture in official spaces and in unofficial interventions. The title is taken from a photograph by Rubens Mano of the Niemeyer pavilion, used for the Bienal since 1957.
Freud’s Sculpture Essays by Michael Molnar, Ivan Ward and Jon Wood Catalogue accompanying the Henry Moore Institute’s collaboration with The Freud Museum, London, Freud’s Sculpture displays a sample of Sigmund Freud’s favourite sculptures and addresses their context. Essays examine the presentation of the sculpture, revisit the etching made by Max Pollak in 1914 of Freud sitting at his desk in the company of some of his sculptures, and address the significance of Freud’s chair and desk.

Imi Knoebel re-visited his founding vocabulary by showing and reworking the key works he made after his study alongside Joseph Beuys in Düsseldorf 1966–68. The exhibition examined the relationship between painting and sculpture, demonstrating not only the constructed quality of painting – as illustrated by Hélène Binet’s remarkable photographs – but also the relationship between painting and installation. Text in English and German. Softback 50pp 263 × 355mm 63 illustrations (22 colour) ISBN 1 905462 09 03 £20.00
The Notepiece: Charlotte von Poehl Preface by Penelope Curtis and Martina Droth, essay by Pontus Kyander Charlotte von Poehl (b.1966) is a Swedish artist fascinated by Minimalism and its legacy to young artists today. During her research fellowship in 2004, she turned the Institute’s library into a kind of studio, making hundreds of notes that incorporated transcriptions, annotations and drawings taken from writings by and on Eva Hesse and Sol LeWitt. This catalogue accompanied the exhibition, which presented just a small selection of the notes she made during this period. Softback 126 pp 170 × 220mm 114 Illustrations (52 colour) ISBN 1 905462 10 7 £10.00
2007 Figuring Space: Sculpture/Furniture from Mies to Moore Essays by Penelope Curtis, Catherine Moriarty and Joseph Giovannini This exhibition staged confrontations between sculpture and furniture asking how they each shape their environment and whether their relationship is complementary, antagonistic or equivalent. Two major groups of works on paper
from the Museum of Modern Art, New York and the Canadian Centre for Architecture, Montreal, show how architect and designer Mies van der Rohe continually ‘peopled’ his spaces with furniture and sculpture. Next to these collages and drawings are some of the actual figurative sculpture Mies chose for his buildings, including works by Lehmbruck, Maillol and Kolbe. The exhibition evolved to include Henry Moore, Arne Jacobsen and Charles and Ray Eames. Includes installation photography. Hardback 80pp 227 × 227mm 76 illustrations (8 colour) ISBN 978 1 905462 11 7 £15.00
Towards a New Laocoon Preface by Penelope Curtis, introduction by Stephen Feeke, essays by Ian Balfour, Brigitte Bourgeois, Viccy Coltman, Penelope Curtis, Jens Daehner, Daniel Herrmann, Madeleine Viljoen and Jon Wood The antique group depicting the Trojan priest, Laocoon and his two sons being attacked by snakes was excavated in Rome in 1506 and almost immediately put on show in the Vatican. Since that date the sculpture, its restoration and the way it tells its story have exerted a strong fascination for artists and writers. This exhibition revealed the Laocoon’s appeal for recent British sculptors – Eduardo Paolozzi, Tony Cragg and Richard Deacon – in terms of its intertwined forms, drama and suspense, and examined other moments of historical interaction. Includes installation photography. Hardback 76pp 215 × 292mm 47 illustrations (7 colour) ISBN 978 1 905462 13 1 £20.00

Jane Simpson and Sarah Staton were invited to select works from the Leeds sculpture collections and curate them into an exhibition at the Henry Moore Institute. As they immersed themselves in catalogues and visited store rooms in Leeds Art Gallery, they were confronted with a particular and sometimes peculiar gene pool of objects, the product of over a hundred years of municipal collecting. kissingcousins takes its title from the Elvis Presley film of 1964 and reflects the artists’ interest in the genealogies and family groups in which artists find their place. The material in this publication derives from the Henry Moore Institute Archive and Library, and reflects the selection of works shown in the exhibition. Softback 36pp 210 × 300mm 42 illustrations (4 colour) ISBN 978 1 905462 15 5 £8.50
Thomas Schütte Early Work Collated by Penelope Curtis In contrast with his later work, Schütte’s early work was light-weight and variable in dimension. Using the techniques of both traditional stage design and of contemporary conceptual art, he deployed multiple components – wallpapers, bricks, tiles and rings – across the wall’s surface. The resulting works have great charm, using minimal means to effect change. Alongside these illusory facades, Schütte used other classic decorative techniques – such as pairing, grouping and arranging – to question the nature of art and illusion. This picture book uses a range of material – much of it unpublished – from the artist’s own archives, to illustrate the progress he followed c.1975–1980 and throws light on the exhibited works.

2008 Against Nature: The Hybrid Forms of Modern Sculpture Essays by Arie Hartog and Jon Wood Beginning in the late 19th century, this exhibition, in association with the Sculptuur Instituut, Scheveningen and the Gerhard-Marcks-Haus, Bremen, presented a common fascination with the world of the hybrid across the various art movements of the 20th century. It introduced little known sculptors from across Europe and the Americas and placed them in a freakish family tree which also included some of the ‘iconic’ images of modern sculpture. Includes specially commissioned installation photography. Text in English, Dutch and German. Hardback 112pp 340 × 245mm 80 illustrations (50 colour) ISBN 978 1 905462 18 6 £20.00
the object quality of the problem (on the space of palestine/israel) Texts by Katrina Brown, Penelope Curtis, Adania Shibli and Eyal Weizman The ‘problem’ is the use of space in PalestineIsrael, a conflict most often explored in the increasingly dominant medium of the moving image. However, this exhibition proposed that the quality of this problem has a strongly sculptural aspect. While the art-works displayed were two-dimensional – film and photography – the exhibition also explored the relationship of ‘new media’ (and indeed of news media) to sculptural practice, and of sculpture to current affairs. Includes works by Francis Alÿs, Yael Bartana, Daniel Bauer, Michel Khleifi and Eyal Sivan, Emily Jacir and Lidwien van de Ven.

Sculpture in 20th-century Britain (Volume I): Identity, Infrastructures, Aesthetics, Display, Reception Edited by Penelope Curtis, Denise Raine, Matthew Withey, Jon Wood, Victoria Worsley Essays by Jonathan Blackwood & Matthew Withey, Robert Burstow, Ann Compton, Sarah Crellin, Martina Droth, Simon Ford, Margaret Garlake, David Getsy, Claire Glossop, Tony Godfrey, Nigel Halliday, Valerie Holman, Catherine Kinley, Sue Malvern, Joy Sleeman, Chris Stephens, Andrew Stephenson, Andrea Tarsia, Anne Wagner and Gillian Whiteley Volume I provides a new survey of the period 1900–2000, drawing on recent scholarship by twenty authors, and examines the various contexts in which sculpture was produced and interpreted. The division of the century into four quarters goes some way towards avoiding the standard predetermined categories of British sculpture: New Sculpture, direct carving, continental modernism, the ‘geometry of fear’, the New Generation and the New British Sculpture.

Modern Sculpture Reader Edited by David Hulks, Alex Potts and Jon Wood Modern Sculpture Reader is a collection of major texts that have defined sculpture’s radically changing status and function since the end of the nineteenth century. The words ‘sculpture’, ‘sculptor’ or ‘sculptural’ are thus deployed in a variety of different ways, signalling new usages as well as marking significant turning points in modern understandings of what sculpture might be. This collection of writings on sculpture includes many by artists and writers who had an often very intimate experience of the production, dissemination and reception of sculpture. Modern Sculpture Reader offers a wide variety of different modes of writing, from the rigorously theoretical to the experimental and the poetic. Softback 542pp 240 × 165mm ISBN 978 1 905462 00 1 £20.00
