From the Wikipedia article

The Henry Moore Foundation is a registered charity in England, established for education and promotion of the fine arts — in particular, to advance understanding of the works of Henry Moore, and to promote the public appreciation of sculpture more generally. The Foundation is also tasked with administering the sale, exhibition and conservation of Moore's work in perpetuity. The charity was set up with a gift from the artist and his family in 1977. The Foundation supports a wide range of projects, including fellowships for artists and art historians and financial grants to various arts institutions. It is based in the UK and operates from two locations: Henry Moore Studios & Gardens in Perry Green in rural Hertfordshire, and the Henry Moore Institute in Leeds, West Yorkshire. The current director of the Henry Moore Foundation is Godfrey Worsdale.

Background

History

Henry and Irena Moore moved to Perry Green during the Second World War after their street in Hampstead was bombed, renting part of a farmhouse called 'Hoglands'. Though originally they planned to return to London when the war ended, they ended up staying in Perry Green for the rest of their lives. As Moore became more famous and sold more works over the following years, he bought Hoglands, followed by gradually buying more land and buildings in the surrounding area which he converted into studios for making different kinds of artwork.
