Place Published: Kansas City
Year: 1980
Date & Collation: 47(1) 113-117(2 illus).
Description: History of controversy on acquisition of Sheep Piece, 1971-1972 bronze for Kansas City. On his death on 8 June 1967 farmer N. Clyde Degginger bequeathed $300,000 to the city to buy a sculpture. Laurence Sickman, Director of Nelson Gallery of Art, was charged with acquiring a work. In 1974 Ralph Coe of the Nelson Gallery visited Much Hadham, and on 9 September 1974 Mayor Charles Wheeler announced the commission. Lengthy deliberations took place on siting the work, which arrived on 5 June 1975, only to be placed in a warehouse. In a brief visit in April 1976 Moore rejected one planned site and requested an open air setting. The bronze was installed finally on 8 May 1976 in the grounds of the Nelson Gallery of Art.

Publisher: Art in America
Place Published: New York
Year: 1991
Date & Collation: (Sept) 79(9) 104-111,153-155(1 Moore illus).Bibliog.
Description:

In issue of Art in America on Art and National Identity. Opens with a full-page colour photograph of Sheep Piece, 1971-1972 bronze in the sheep meadow at Much Hadham. Mentions Moore's honours, the giant scale of the castings of his late work, and his promotion by the British Council. Moore's critical position may be in flux today but in terms of museum holdings and public sitings throughout the world he is still the best-known sculptor of the 20th century. Moore's Shelter drawings and his post-war family groups were both in keeping with the British image. His later public works "shipped to almost every part of the world (as formerly British armaments locomotives and machine tools had been) seemed like belated products of the no longer vital workshop of the world." Mentions the reaction of critics and of younger artists against Moore. Contemporary British sculptors, in particular Anish KAPOOR, but also Richard LONG, Barry FLANAGAN, and Nicholas POPE, react to Moore's (and Hepworth's) "modernist primitivizing".

Discussion of Moore's style from the 1930s (some works abstract and organic, similar to Jean ARP and Naum GABO; others fusing figurative and landscape imagery in his reclining figures) and the postwar period (a fusion of the two earlier styles). Mention of Moore's place in the Hampstead set of artists in the 1930s. Moore's reclining figures from the 1950s onwards, with allusions to Reclining Figure: Festival and the UNESCO Reclining Figure. Contrast between Moore and the Geometry of Fear school. Moore's public popularity contrasts with criticism from avant-garde art circles from the 1960s on.
