SCHOOL HOUSE GALLERY WIGHTON
The School House at Wighton, Near Wells-next-the-Sea, Norfolk has an historic connection with 20th century art. It was where Henry Moore carved some of his earliest sculptures and where in 1922 his sister, Mary Moore, was appointed headmistress. In 1983 Diana Cohen opened The School House Art Gallery, which has gained a reputation for showing contemporary art of the highest quality. The Gallery has put on exhibitions of work by Henry Moore, David Hockney, Eric Gill, Alfred Cohen, Derrick Greaves, Anthony Benjamin, and David Jones, as well as regular mixed exhibitions. In 1993 the Henry Moore Foundation and the School House Gallery put on the exhibition ‘Henry Moore and the Sea’. The Gallery also houses the Alfred Cohen Art Foundation and includes a permanent and changing exhibition of his work, which includes items from the Foundation’s own collection, as well as from private collections. The Gallery is the primary outlet for Cohen’s graphic work, particularly his screenprints. During most of the year the Gallery presents a mixed exhibition of vibrant, figurative, modern works.
