‘Henry Moore and Marcel Breuer’ with Isokon as part of London Design Festival 2024

Marcel Breuer and Henry Moore each revolutionised twentieth-century art and architecture in their singular ways. They corresponded through letters, demonstrating a robust relationship characterised by mutual support and shared interests in architecture, art, and design.
