Publisher: HMF library copy
Place Published: Much Hadham
Year: 1967
Date & Collation: 26 sound recordings.
Description: About 50 hours of tape recorded, informal conversations between Henry Moore and John Hedgecoe at Much Hadham, with contributions by Irina Moore. Made in preparation for the books Henry Spencer Moore (See 0005040) and also the 1986 Henry Moore (See 0000066). Typed transcripts exist of some of the tapes; and there are half-a-dozen additional typescripts, in varying stages of revision and duplication. Typed in January 1985 they are mostly recollections of childhood years. Identification is by the Henry Moore Foundation library accession numbers A74-A99. Tapes 84-99 were probably made during 1984 and 1985, towards the end of Moore's life. They are late, hesitant recollections, and lack the content of the artist's earlier statements.
