This sixth and final volume of the official catalogue of Henry Moore s sculpture covers the last period of the artist s working life. It includes 137 works a remarkable number for this short-time span given Moore s failing health from 1983 onwards. Despite his increasing frailty the sculptures maintain a vigour and originality with some new treatments of familiar themes such as the Mother and Child. In addition subjects which preoccupied him less in earlier times ? such as torsos and paired figures ? are fully explored. As in the other volumes all works are illustrated alongside their entries and many are reproduced often from several viewpoints in the plate section which contains 148 illustrations.
