Bonhams To Sell £1-Million Iconic Henry Moore – A Seminal Work, The Visual Climax Of His Early Years

Bonhams
International Fine Art Auctioneers will sell the most important
sculpture by Henry Moore to appear at auction in recent
years on Tuesday 29 November 2005. Mother and Child, 1931,
described by Moore himself as “one of my best earlier
pieces” was purchased soon after Henry Moore’s
exhibition at the Leicester Galleries in the same year,
for just £18–18 guinneas. Today, the work is
estimated to fetch £1 million.
