The Philip and Muriel Berman Foundation
has given the Huntington 330 etchings, lithographs, and drawings by Henry Moore. In number the gift exceeds the holdings of Moore graphics at all but a few U.S. institutions.

The Huntington has no Moore sculptures. In recent years it has been adding 20th-century British works on paper. Three early-modern UK paintings
were acquired in 2016. The Berman gift decisively moves the chronology up a half-century.
About 25 works will be shown next summer in "Spirit and Essence, Line and Form: The Graphic Work of Henry Moore," June 16–Oct. 1, 2018.
