Zahra Modern Art Foundries (formerly Morris Singer) is one of the world's great foundries. It provides a range of services, including work in precious metals such as gold and silver alongside traditional casting techniques, backed-up by state-of-the-art digital design facilities.
The foundry has produced some of the world's most famous monumental sculptures, including the bronze lions in Trafalgar Square, and the Boudicca outside the Houses of Parliament. It has produced work by all the major British sculptors over the past 170 years, including Henry Moore, and is an important part of the cultural heritage of Britain.
On relaunching the foundry in 2010, Nasser Azam said "It is my wish both to preserve the skills and knowledge that have been built up since the nineteenth century, and also to take the Foundry into a new stage in its history".
Zahra Modern Art Foundries play a central role in the world of contemporary monumental sculpture. The provision of ‘Foundry Grants’ creates opportunities for a new generation of artists to work in the medium, allowing young artists to spend time at the Foundry learning the possibilities of the medium.
Zahra Modern Art Foundries pursues an active strategy of expansion, developing overseas markets, particularly in the Middle East. Client associations have been developed within the rapidly developing cultural infrastructure of the Persian Gulf States.
