It is hard to ignore him.
You can see his work in many locations, all over the world, including Berlin, Chicago, Vienna and Leeds. Sadly, at the moment, this does not include his birthplace of Castleford. Never mind.
If you are a fan, then a visit to his former home,” Hoglands”, in Perry Green is worthwhile. The studios and gardens there provide a fascinating insight into his life, career and achievements. You can join a guided tour, research in the library or simply stroll around the gardens and enjoy the sculptures.
Less of Henry’s work is displayed at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park at West Bretton, twixt Wakefield and Barnsley. The grounds there provide a backdrop to the works of other artists including Damien Hirst.
Henry completed a huge amount of work. He has left us with so many interesting pieces of art that can stimulate thought and help us to appreciate our environment more keenly.
