In the life of Henry Moore
The whole life1940–1986
A bomb in Hampstead: the move to Hoglands
In September 1940 bomb shrapnel hit the Moores’ Hampstead home and they left London for Hoglands, a farmhouse in the hamlet of Perry Green near Much Hadham in Hertfordshire. It remained Moore’s home and workshop for the rest of his life; though he grew wealthy he never felt the need to move to larger premises.
1950s
Assistants at Much Hadham
In the 1950s the scale of Moore’s sculptures grew so much that he took on a growing number of assistants at Much Hadham, among them Anthony Caro, Roland Piché, Maurice Lowe and Richard Wentworth.
