TO CELEBRATE the 125th anniversary of Henry Moore’s birth the Henry Moore Archive unveiled a fascinating digitised collection of more than 400 posters designed to signal Moore’s many exhibitions through the years.
“It’s a unique resource showcasing Moore’s exhibitions and his international reach. It’s also a fascinating look at the evolution of graphic design over the decades,” said archivist Emma Stower.
Indeed, they range from a standard, if pedestrian, informative notice comprising a photo of a sculpture with some elementary typography to those which exude graphic sophistication and are collectable works of art in themselves.
