Description: Monograph on Hepworth's plaster works published on the occasion of the opening of The Hepworth Wakefield gallery. Edited by Dr. Sophie Bowness with contributions from Simon WALLIS, Frances GUY, Gordon WATSON, David CHIPPERFIELD, Jackie HEUMAN and Tessa JACKSON. Mentions of Moore throughout, with the following of greater interest:
Page 11: Brief mention of the acquisition of Moore's Reclining Figure in 1938. Mention of Ernest Musgrave.
Page 31: Bowness makes distinction between the working methods of Hepworth and Moore.
Page 36: Quote from Hepworth to Ben Nicholson; The reason Henry Moore and I do good bronzes is because we are carvers.
Page 55: Notes Hepworth's concerns that large scale Moore bronze sculptures were monopolising the Morris Singer foundry. Page 57 shows illustration of Moore's Sheep Piece 1970-71 bronze (LH 627) at the foundry with Hepworth's figures from Conversation with Magic Stones.
