Abstract

In 1967 the announcement of Henry Moore’s intention to give a selection of his large-scale sculptures to the Tate Gallery elicited both praise and, among many younger artists, consternation. The ensuing debate about the gift raised difficult issues about the appropriateness of such prominence being given to a single artist by a national museum and the role of a small elite in making these decisions.
