0023554 An Evolving Legacy Gagosian Quarterly New York There 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.
