Note:
Henry Moore (British, 1898-1986) is considered one of the greatest 20th Century sculptors. If not one of the most important innovators of the medium in human history. His work always seemed so monumental, even if only a few inches high.
Waddington’s has a large collection of Henry Moore exhibition and gallery posters which will be made available over several upcoming auctions. Many of which had been signed, as the consignor was good friends with the artist.
