How did Henry Moore make his bronze sculptures available to museums and collectors around the world?

Henry Moore made his bronze sculptures accessible to museums and collectors worldwide by producing them in limited editions.1

While working on commissions such as the Madonna and Child and various family-group sculptures in the 1940s, Moore created numerous studies in clay and terra-cotta. By casting these studies in bronze and issuing them in editions of seven to nine copies each, he enabled his work to be distributed to and acquired by institutions and private collectors globally. This practice helped establish his international reputation, particularly following his 1946 retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.1
