More InformationThere is an eleven page feature article on pages 76 to 86 titled 'An Evolving Legacy' on the history, current position and future of Moore's life and legacy at Perry Green that began in 1940 and is, this year, celebrating the 40th anniversary of the establishment of the Henry Moore Foundation with both the exhibition Becoming Henry Moore and the opening of the new visitor centre and archive facility. The article takes the form of a three way conversation between the Gagosian's Zoё Santa-Olalla, Godfrey Worsdale, the director of the Henry Moore Foundation and Gus Danowski, Moore's first grandchild. Topics discussed include: the new visitor centre and archive facility designed by architects Hugh Broughton; Gus Danowski's childhood recollections of his grandfather and of Hoglands, the studios and gardens; and, the work of the Foundation and its ambitions. The article is richly illustrated with images of the following: on the inside cover, Moore in his studio working on Two Piece Reclining Figure 1960; the new archive building; Moore standing in the sheep field with Sheep Piece 1971-72 (LH 627) in the background; Upright Motive No.9 1979 (LH 586); Upright Motive No.9 1979 (LH 586), Torso 1967 (LH 569) and other works in Moore's enlargement studio at Perry Green; Moore with some of his Upright Motive sculptures including Upright Motive No.5 1955-56 (LH 383) taken in 1964; a double page image of Sheep Piece 1971-72 (LH 627); an internal and external image of the new visitors' cafe and offices; Godfrey Worsdale, Zoё Santa-Olalla and Gus Danowski in conversation in front of Knife Edge Two Piece 1962-63 (LH 516); Moore working in his revolving summer house in Perry Green 1956; a double page image of Family Group 1948-49 (LH 269) in the grounds of Perry Green; Gus Danowski with his grandfather in a studio at Perry Green; and, Zoё Santa-Olalla, Gus Danowski and Godfrey Worsdale walking back to Hoglands.
