Henry Moore Foundation
The Henry Moore Foundation is a registered charity in England, established for education and promotion of the fine arts — in particular, to advance understanding of the works of Henry Moore, and to promote the public appreciation of sculpture more generally. The Foundation is also tasked with administering the sale, exhibition and conservation of Moore's work in perpetuity.
The charity was set up with a gift from the artist and his family in 1977. The Foundation supports a wide range of projects, including fellowships for artists and art historians and financial grants to various arts institutions. It is based in the UK and operates from two locations: Henry Moore Studios & Gardens in Perry Green in rural Hertfordshire, and the Henry Moore Institute in Leeds, West Yorkshire.
The current director of the Henry Moore Foundation is Godfrey Worsdale.
Situated on the site of Moore's former home and studios in Perry Green, rural Hertfordshire, Henry Moore Studios & Gardens is the headquarters of the Henry Moore Foundation. The estate is open seasonally to everyone, with an admission fee.
Henry and Irena Moore moved to Perry Green during the Second World War after their street in Hampstead was bombed, renting part of a farmhouse called 'Hoglands'. Though originally they planned to return to London when the war ended, they ended up staying in Perry Green for the rest of their lives. As Moore became more famous and sold more works over the following years, he bought Hoglands, followed by gradually buying more land and buildings in the surrounding area which he converted into studios for making different kinds of artwork.
Around twenty of Moore's large-scale sculptural works are on display at Henry Moore Studios & Gardens, often changing depending on whether they are loaned elsewhere for exhibitions. The gardens span more than 70 acres, including Irena Moore's flower gardens, fruit trees, landscaped lawns, and less formal gardens and fields shared with local sheep.
There is a large, modern and fully accessible visitor centre, with a cafe and interpretation room.
Visitors can explore Moore's former studios, which have been preserved as the artist would have used them in his lifetime. The studios include:
