career. In 1928, despite his own self-described "extreme reservations", he accepted his first
public commission for West Wind for the London Underground Building at 55 Broadway in
London, joining the company of Jacob Epstein and Eric Gill. In 1952, he completed a four-
part concrete screen for the Time-Life Building in New Bond Street, London, and in 1955
Moore turned to his first and only work in carved brick, "Wall Relief no. 1" at the
Bouwcentrum in Rotterdam. The brick relief was sculptured with 16,000 bricks by two Dutch
bricklayers.
Even after he passed away, August 31, 1986 in Herforshire, Moore's work is still greatly
celebrated, collected, exhibited, auctioned and showcased in museums and other prominent
public places near and far.
