More Information

Booklet with ten walks around the 20th and 21st century public art available in London. Four of the walks include works by Henry Moore:

1. The Scarlet Walk (Kensington & Hyde Park) has The Arch (LH 503c) in Kensington Gardens.

2. The Ochre Walk (The City & Bankside) visits the Circular Altar (LH 630) in the church of St. Stephen Walbrook.

3. The Burnt Sienna Walk (Mayfair & St. James's) passes Time/Life Screen (LH 344), New Bond Street.

4. The Violet Walk (Pimlico) includes four Moore sculptures: Locking Piece (LH 515), Two Piece Reclining Figure No.1 (LH 457), Knife Edge Two Piece (LH 516), and West Wind (LH 58).

The blurbs for two other stops mention Moore: the description of the Royal College of Art (Scarlet Walk) names Moore as an alumnus; Moore is mentioned as an influence on Michael Chapman, whose In the Beginning aka Christ Child at St. Martin-in-the-Fields is included on the Turquoise Walk (Covent Garden).

Various other locations with connections to Moore's life and sculpture are visited on the walks, including Tate Britain, British Museum, and the Hayward Gallery.
