About this deal

Francis Marshall, Senior Curator (Paintings, Prints and Drawings) at the Museum of London, said: “It’s an amazing opportunity to be able to restore such a rare post-war artwork associated with so iconic a London event as the Festival of Britain. London has a long history of public art, all of which add to the culture of the city. Youth in particular highlights a time in London’s history where art was at the core of a national celebration, seeing rejuvenation to a country devastated by war. We’re incredibly grateful to the Henrion family, who have kindly gifted us this remarkable sculpture.” To acquire by transfer or deposit, the records of the City of London Corporation and of official London-wide bodies.

Paul Henrion, son of Daphne Hardy Henrion, said: “As one of Daphne’s three children, I am delighted that the Museum of London has acquired this important early example of her work. We look forward to seeing her after she has been restored. Youth will be given a new lease of life and it is good to know there will be an opportunity for others to enjoy this sculpture in the future.” Guildhall Library’s resources to trace Londoners, past and present, include: Trade and telephone directories A fixture on London’s cultural scene since first opening in 1976, the museum is moving house. It closed its doors at London Wall in December 2022 in preparation for its relocation to a new home at Smithfield, where it will occupy historic market buildings and open up to millions more visitors. The new museum will reopen to the public in 2026 under a new name: The London Museum. Daphne Hardy Henrion established herself as a figurative sculptor when abstraction was prevalent in the mid-20th century and was influenced by classical and Italian Renaissance sculpture. She trained at the Royal Academy Schools in London from 1934-37 and was awarded a two year travelling scholarship and Gold Medal when she finished her studies aged just 19. Following two years studying Italian and French art, she moved to Paris in early summer 1939, at the outbreak of war, and remained there until after the Nazi invasion in May 1940. She spent most of the war in London where she met and later married the designer FHK Henrion, who designed two pavilions for the Festival of Britain. Her early post-war work includes a memorial to the victims of Belsen created in 1946.We shall, in agreement with owners and depositors, evaluate and select material worthy of permanent preservation. This will be done before deposit wherever possible and will follow the office’s own Appraisal Policy, or other guidelines such as the Church of England Record Centre’s “Keep or Bin? - The Care of Your Parish Records”, as appropriate (see our Appraisal Policy).
