Opening night

The Traumatic Surreal Opening Party

18:00–20:00

Henry Moore Institute, Leeds

You are warmly invited to join us at the exhibition preview of The Traumatic Surreal and John Hoyland: Imaginary Beings.

Marking the centenary of Surrealism, The Traumatic Surreal explores the appropriation and development of surrealist sculptural traditions by women artists in German-speaking countries after World War II.

Brightly coloured and loaded with creatureliness, John Hoyland: Imaginary Beings features British artist John Hoyland’s only mature group of sculptures.

All welcome, free entry. Drinks will be served.
