In the life of Henry Moore

The whole life

  1. 1940–1986

    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.

  2. 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.
