Henry Moore, born in Castleford, studied in Leeds. With 10,000 art works in 38 countries, can he be the UK’s best ever sculptor and Yorkshire’s greatest artist? Is his success a closely guarded Leeds secret?

Part of Moore’s legacy must be a new venture in Leeds City Centre, the first Yorkshire Sculpture International, at the Henry Moore Institute and the adjoining Leeds Art Gallery. To complete the Sculpture Triangle, this event extends to the Hepworth Gallery in Wakefield and the Yorkshire Sculpture Park near Wakefield. This should attract art lovers from all over the world.
