In 1976, as mayor of the town, Bill uncovered the proof he was looking for, a birth certificate stating that Arthur Stanley Jefferson (Stan changed his name in 1931) was born in Foundry Cottages, now named Argyll Street. The collection kept growing and Bill found others who shared his interest, resulting in the occasional private showing. These proved popular and he opened his quirky little room up more and more until an official opening was arranged in 1983, the ribbon being cut by Jeffrey Holland of Hi-Dee-Hi fame. After many happy years at the old site, the museum was starting to get over crowded and, due to the hobbyist way it had been started, some of the pictures were beginning to look past their best so it was decided that a new location should be sought. After much deliberation the Roxy cinema complex was decided on as the new site. Cover image: Henry Moore, Large Spindle Piece, 1974. Courtesy the Henry Moore Foundation.

Among many other things Theakston are proud sponsors of the Nidderdale Cricket League, the world’s largest village cricket league and for the last 17 years the title sponsors of the biggest crime writing festival in the World through their legendary Old Peculier Beer brand which takes place each year in Harrogate. T&R Theakston Ltd was founded in Masham in 1827 and today remains an independent, family controlled brewing company. The original Victorian brew house is still in full operation and is one of the oldest working breweries in the country. Considered an icon in British Brewing and famed as the home of one of the world’s most famous beers, Theakston Old Peculier. You can experience first-hand the craft and skill that goes into the brewing process on one the organised guided tours of the brewery which operate regularly. Theakston are certainly not stuck in some kind of brewing time warp, indeed no-one can be more excited about the resurgent interest in craft beers that has spread throughout the world. Greater demand for beer both traditional and modern has encouraged Theakston to introduce new styles of malt grist and exciting new hop varieties which, brewed with their unique twin-strain yeast, has enabled them to enthusiastically incorporate several new beers into a well-established portfolio of ales. In the UK their portfolio consists of six cask conditioned beers, including Old Peculier that is brewed all year round, a monthly guest ale programme producing seasonal cask ales such as the Grouse Beater, Ru(G)by Ale - no G! and Double Cross IPA to name just a few. 2020 will see a continuation of that great heritage. Adding to the ale portfolio is a brand new cask conditioned ale Theakston Summit (Cold Pale Ale). The growing consumer demand for colder dispensed drinks has led Theakston to create a cask ale which has been specifically brewed to be served a 6-8° C. Brewed using a range of new world hops and finest barley, the 4.2% ABV Theakston Summit (Cold Pale Ale) is a premium cask ale of outstanding character, appearance and taste.

  • HENRY MOORE: Late Large Forms
    G A G O S I A N G A L L E R Y November 26, 2012 PRESS RELEASE GAGOSIAN GALLERY 522 WEST 21ST STREET T. 212.741.1717 NEW YORK, NY 10011 F. 212.741.0006 GALLERY HOURS: Tue–Sat: 10:00am–6:00pm HENRY MOORE: Late Large Forms Tuesday, November 20, 2012–Saturday, January 19, 2013 Everything I do, I intend to make on a large scale... Size itself has its own impact, and physically we can relate more strongly to a big sculpture than to a small one. —Henry Moore Gagosian Gallery, in collaboration with The Henry Moore Foundation, is pleased to present a major exhibition of large-scale sculptures by Henry Moore, which opened at Larry Gagosian’s Britannia Street location in London earlier this year. A pioneer of modern British sculpture, Moore engaged the abstract, the surreal, the primitive and the classical in vigorous corporeal forms that are as accessible and familiar as they are avant- garde. His monumental sculptures celebrated the power of organic forms at a time when traditional representation was largely eschewed by the vanguard art establishment. The overwhelming physicality of their scale and forceful presence promotes a charged relation between sculpture, site and viewer. Reclining Figure: Hand (1979) is immediately identifiable as a human form despite its modulated stylization. The rounded, cloud-like body, which contrasts with a “knife-edge” head derived from bird bone, attests to Moore’s more exploratory impulses when compared to Reclining Connected Forms (1969), where he alludes to body parts using the vocabulary of mechanical components.

    Becoming Henry Moore Becoming Henry Moore 30 November 2017 – 18 February 2018 Galleries 1, 2 & 3 © The Henry Moore Foundation 2017 (Leeds Galleries Art Gallery) and Museums Leeds Courtesy Moore’s early passion for the collections of the British Museum is also reflected through the inclusion of examples of African, Aztec and Sumerian art from the Museum. Moore’s talent was spotted at Castleford Secondary School by ‘Toddy’ Dawes, the school’s progressive headmaster, and by Alice Gostick, a highly supportive art teacher. Gostick and Moore struck up an enduring friendship, and many of his earliest experiences of modern and contemporary art came through her and her collection of books and magazines, such as the The Studio. After World War I, during which he was gassed at the Battle of Cambrai, Moore received an ex-serviceman’s grant to attend Leeds School of Art (now Leeds © Victoria and Albert Museum, London Museum, Albert and Victoria © Cast after the marble original in the State Hermitage, St. Petersburg Henry Moore ‘Seated Man’ (c. 1921) Marking the fortieth anniversary of the Henry Moore Foundation, this exhibition presents Moore’s journey from student to sculptor, showing a wide range of sculptures and works on paper made between 1914 and 1930. Becoming Henry Moore offers a fresh opportunity to reconsider these fascinating, formative years and to look again at the artist’s sculptural imagination. It also shows Moore’s early works in dialogue with sculptures by other artists who inspired him, including Jacob Epstein (1880–1959), Leon Underwood (1890–1975), Alexander Archipenko (1887–1964), Henri Gaudier- Brzeska (1891–1915), Ossip Zadkine (1890–1967), Pablo Picasso (1881–1973), Auguste Rodin (1840–1917) and Michelangelo Michelangelo (1475–1564).

  • Yorkshire Sculpture Park TEACHERS' RESOURCE PACK Henry Moore: Back to a Land
    Yorkshire Sculpture Park TEACHERS’ RESOURCE PACK Henry Moore: Back to a Land 7 MARCH–6 SEPTEMBER 2015 EXHIBITION LOCATIONS The exhibition takes place in the Underground Gallery and in the open air (Formal Terrace, Country Park and Bothy Garden). The What’s On Today & Map leaflet can be used with this resource. Our Family Activities leaflet also has lots of creative ideas relating to the exhibition and can be picked up at the Information Desk or downloaded from the website. A more extensive resource pack is available in the Resource area in YSP Centre. ABOUT THE ARTIST Henry Moore was born in Castleford in 1898 and became one of the most important British sculptors of the 20th century. His upbringing in Yorkshire and the local landscape had a huge influence on his work. Moore was a founding patron of Yorkshire Sculpture Park (YSP), first visiting the Park in 1979. Moore was a sculptor who carved in stone and marble and also created large bronze sculptures. He enjoyed working outdoors and made sculpture for the open air. Moore’s main subject was the figure, particularly the ‘reclining figure’ and ‘mother and child’. He used abstract form to connect the human body with nature and the landscape, and his sculptures are reminiscent of rock formations, bone and other natural forms. Moore married Irina Radetsky in 1929 and had a daughter, Mary, in 1946. By the late 1940s, Moore was a hugely successful artist and undertook major commissions around the world. He died in 1986 but his work remains incredibly popular and continues to influence new generations of artists.
