WELCOME TO THE HENRY MOORE ARTWORK CATALOGUE

The Henry Moore Foundation is embarking on an exciting new project to publish
Henry Moore’s entire artistic output in one comprehensive and illustrated online
catalogue.

Moore’s work has been extensively catalogued before now. Catalogue raisonnés of
sculpture, drawings and graphic work were published between 1944 and 2010. Our
new online catalogue will include and expand upon the information in these
printed volumes. The catalogue will also feature previously unpublished works,
tapestries and textiles. Our aim is to create a dynamic catalogue that will
connect works of art to their bibliographic and exhibition history.

Our catalogue is the result of over 50 years work but is still in development.
It will eventually become the world’s most comprehensive resource on Henry
Moore. In the meantime, entries need to be read with care, as there may be
inaccuracies or omissions. Please do contact us through the link on each page to
help us improve the site.

How far have we got and what comes next?

The Henry Moore Foundation’s collection of over 6,000 works is now accessible
online. Our next focus is to catalogue and publish works by Henry Moore in other
collections. We are approaching this task chronologically, working through
Moore's career decade by decade, from the beginning. To date, we have published
all of Moore's known works from his earliest linocut in 1914 up to 1979,
organised into six decade collections. Works from 1980-1986 will be published
over the course of 2022.

We are compiling information in three areas – works of art made by Moore,
exhibitions in which his work featured, and published references to his work
(bibliography). Our first priority is to publish online basic catalogue details
for all of Moore’s works (in all media and all collections) i.e. title, date,
material, dimensions, catalogue number and credit line. We will add interpretive
texts where possible. Exhibition and bibliographic research will follow but in
the interim records will be necessarily incomplete.

Bibliography records provide the title, author, publisher and date of each
publication plus a summary of the text and Moore content. We have already
published online over 24,000 bibliographic references to Moore and in the coming
months will aim to create links to individual works of art in the catalogue when
they are cited or illustrated.

Exhibition records detail groups of Henry Moore’s works that appeared together
in exhibitions, along with explanatory texts and installation images where
possible. These too will be linked to the records of individual works.

Searching the Online Catalogue

The simple search bar at the top of each page allows you to search for a word or
phrase across all works of art, exhibitions and publications currently online.
To search for a phrase, simply surround your query with "quotation marks".
Please note, even if you search within a collection of artworks, the simple
search will return results from the entire catalogue.

The advanced search page allows you to add more detail to your query, including
limiting your search to a date range, medium, or works from the Foundation's
collection. This search can be reached by clicking 'advanced search' next to the
simple search bar.

‘Filters’ allow you to further refine your search results and can be found to
the right of the screen once you have executed your query.

Catalogue numbers

The catalogue numbers used for our online project are the same as those
previously published in the catalogue raisonnés of sculpture, drawings and
graphics. These volumes were ordered more or less chronologically (although
certain related groups of works have been listed together for general
convenience). Catalogue numbers for each type of media begin with a different
prefix: LH for sculpture, HMF for drawings and CGM for graphics. Catalogue
numbers generally ascend consecutively, following the chronological sequence of
the work. For sculpture, therefore, maquettes and working models precede the
definitive stage of the work. Works discovered after publication of the
catalogue raisonnés have been assigned a number, followed by a letter (e.g.
120a) to enable them to be chronologically situated within the correct
catalogue. New discoveries will continue to be recorded in this way. Bronze
casts within the same edition are all recorded under the same ‘LH’ number. When
known, cast numbers form part of the catalogue number: E.g. LH 596 cast 1. In
cases where the cast number is not known, catalogue numbers may include a
letter, or a combination of letters and numbers. These are simply unique
identifiers to enable us to record the work, and do not have any additional
meaning.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are all of Henry Moore's artworks published here?

A: No, but we hope to achieve this soon. The Henry Moore Foundation Collection
is accessible online and covers all areas of the artist's practice.

Q: Why are there exhibitions listed from 1924 and 2017 but not from the 1960s?

A: On our previous website we listed exhibitions of Moore’s work organised by
the Foundation from 2004. We wanted to keep this information accessible and so
have carried it over to our new website. We are also keen to tell you about
current exhibitions which include the work of Henry Moore so this information is
also kept up-to-date. As part of our catalogue raisonné project we have added
exhibition information from the earliest decades of Moore’s career. This has
resulted in a gap in the online exhibitions history between the 1930s and 2004.
As further information is added to the database this gap will continue to close.

Q: Who do I contact if I own a work by Henry Moore?

A: If you have a work by Henry Moore you would like to tell us about, or if you
would like us to conduct further research into a work you believe may have been
made by the artist, please see details of our Review Panel.

Q: Can I use the images published here in my book/newspaper/website/film/etc?

A: Please contact the Henry Moore Image Archive if you wish to publish an image
of a Henry Moore artwork.

Please contact us if you have any further questions.
