Description: Booklet produced on the opening of the Centre and the expanded Art Gallery of Ontario. Preface by William J. WITHROW, text by Alan WILKINSON, which traces the history of the Centre from 1958 when Viljo Revell was appointed architect of Toronto City Hall and Civic Square. He asked Moore to provide a sculpture for his project, and Three Way Piece No. 2: Archer, 1964-1965 bronze was unveiled in 1966, after funds to purchase the sculpture were raised privately. Moore visited Toronto in 1967 when Allan Ross, Samuel J. Zacks, and William J. Withrow developed the idea of a Henry Moore Sculpture Centre in the Gallery's new building programme. To preserve plaster originals of Moore's bronzes, the actual works that one has done with one's own hands" these were offered to Toronto on the understanding that no casts will ever be made from them as the bronze editions had been decided upon before the works left his studio. With Moore's collaboration in the design of the building more than 300 sculptures drawings and prints together with natural objects and photographs dating from 1921 form the collection. Preface by Withrow takes form of acknowledgements."
