Hauser & Wirth is delighted to present an extraordinary body of works curated directly with members of the Moore family. 'Works on Paper from the Henry Moore Family Collection' is the gallery's second presentation of works by Henry Moore, following our 2008 exhibition 'Ideas for Sculpture' held at Hauser & Wirth London. The exhibition includes works ranging from Moore's sensitive and sublime studies of the human body to his wartime 'Shelter Drawings' and exploratory 'Ideas for Sculpture', spanning six decades of the artist's career.
