Aliens at Kew Gardens? No, it's Henry Moore's magnificent sculptures
"In parts of the show, Moore's love of natural forms seems to run counter to the Victorian splendour of Kew. One of his bone-like pieces, Three Piece Sculpture: Vertebrae (1968-69), sits in front of the Palm House. Moore's irregular, undulating tripartite form seems to echo – or mock – the pane-glass and wrought-iron symmetry of the older building."

Henry Moore at Kew review — spectacular, this is the show of the summer
"Surely this is the show of the summer? Pack a picnic, lace your boots, wear sunscreen. There will be crowds, but Kew and Moore will weather them."

A startling, stunning summer meeting
"But Kew Gardens, which this week opened the ambitious, startling, imaginatively installed Henry Moore: Monumental Nature, his largest ever outdoor exhibition, isn't "any landscape": it is the most curated, manicured landscape in Britain. In the open air here Moore, the best-known British 20th-century artist, manages to surprise."
