Sculptural Forms: A Century Of Experiment

The exhibition Sculptural Forms: A Century of Experiment, shows some of the imaginative ways in which the sculptural form has been re-invented from just before World War One to the present day. It explores figurative sculpture, abstraction and the use of pre-existing objects in sculpture.

Sculptural Forms features works from our own collection and from those of Whitworth Art Gallery and the Arts Council, including works by Barbara Hepworth and Eduardo Paolozzi and two new acquisitions, Rocking Chair No 4 by Henry Moore, 1950, and Ridged Vessel by Claire Malet, 2014.
