Signed in the plate original lithographic poster, designed and printed at the Curwen Studio for an exhibition of Henry Moore Graphics at Christie’s Contemporary Art in New York. (Exhibited at the King’s Lynn Festival, Fermoy Gallery, Peace to Pop Exhibition in 2024).

Produced for an exhibition at Christie’s Contemporary Art in New York, this poster situates Moore’s graphic work within one of the most influential art-market institutions of the late 20th century.

It demonstrates Moore’s mastery of line and tonal variation, capturing the sculptural essence of his reclining figures and abstract motifs. The subtle gradations and careful layering reveal how lithography can convey three-dimensional depth while retaining the graphic immediacy of drawing.

By the early 1980s, Christie’s played a key role in shaping the reception and valuation of modern masters. This poster reflects the growing recognition of Moore’s prints as autonomous works, marking a moment when graphic art became firmly embedded within both museum culture and the international art market.
