Modern British Sculpture Exhibition

The Royal Academy hosts a Modern British Sculpture exhibition London event during 2011 which highlights the vast range and scope of 20th century British sculptors. Bringing together several key works from artists such as Jacob Epstein, Barbara Hepworth, Henry Moore and Damien Hirst, the exhibition is the first such show to take place in London for over 30 years.

Dividing the Modern British Sculpture exhibition into two, the show also highlights the ever present issue for all sculptors of whether to create a figurative or an abstract piece of work. Pointing out the tension between the two styles and comparing various artists that exemplify one style or the other, the exhibition shows the striking juxtapositions of works that both bear commemorative and political functions, but are hugely dissimilar in style.
