Description: Newspaper article announcing the relocation of Mother and Child 1949 (illustrated) from within the grounds of the Heidelberg Children's Hospital to the front entrance. The Hospital's managing director, Professor Hans Bremer, described the work as having "lapsed into a slumber". The article states the move was partially to celebrate the Moore exhibition in Mannheim (0016894), and also due to the redevelopment of the Children's Hospital. It tells the story of the work's acquisition for the hospital by the state of Baden-Württemburg in 1960, and describes how the work was originally conceived as Family Group 1948-49 (LH 269) and then partially recast as Mother and Child 1949 (LH 269b). The article reports the work was originally a gift to Irina Moore to celebrate their daughter's birthday. Moore then had a second cast made for the Children's Hospital.
