context_page_description: Harlow Art Trust is a registered charity based in Harlow, Essex that was set up in the 1950s to acquire and display sculptures. Having collected many works over the years it now comprises a nationally significant collection located throughout the town. HAT was set up by the lead architect of Harlow New Town Frederick Gibberd. Gibberd wanted the New Town to be a place where people who might not normally have access to art could enjoy great sculptures by great artists on every street corner. Consequently, almost all of Harlow's sculpture collection is in the open air, in shopping centres, housing estates and parks around the town.
context_section_description: Harlow Council has produced a 'Sculpture Trail' for visitors to the town which features many of the sculptures held in the collection.  These include:
  Henry Moore's Family Group (1954), which is in the foyer of the Civic Centre. When it was commissioned by the Harlow Art Trust it was one of Moore’s ﬁrst major public works.
  Elisabeth Frink's Boar, in the Water Gardens. Was originally commissioned in concrete (1957) but was remade and cast in bronze in 1970.
  Lynn Chadwick Trigon (1961) - bought in 1963.
  Auguste Rodin - Eve (1882). Was acquired from Musee Rodin in 1960. A companion piece to Adam, it was to be part of the sculptural project, The Gates of Hell, which remained unﬁnished at Rodin’s death.
  Barbara Hepworth - Contrapunctal Forms (1951)
  Angela Godfrey - HAT has commissioned four sculptures by Godfrey: Grecian Urn: Two Vertical Forms (2000), We Are The Music Makers (2006), Flowing Onwards (2007), The Flame (2008)
  Sir Frederick Gibberd - Obelisk (1980).
