Sale of $32 Million Moore Must Be Stopped: Martin Gayford

Bureaucrats will today decide whether to go ahead with the sale of a Henry Moore sculpture -- a decision which has put them at odds with London’s art world.

Moore’s “Draped Seated Woman,” better known as “Old Flo,” belongs to the public and has an estimated market value of as much as 20 million pounds ($32 million). A sale would be idiotic and rob London of a bronze work that is part of its history.
