Moor, Heppe de

Heppe de Moor (The Hague, 12 March 1938 - Bussum, 29 February 1992) De Moor trained as a pupil of Co Westerik and Henri Boot at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague. In the 1980s, he taught at the Academy of Visual Arts in Rotterdam. As a painter, he was a member of the Haagse Kunstkring. Between 1968 and 1971, he exhibited at Galerie Krikhaar in Amsterdam and at The Hague's Gemeentemuseum. Later, the emphasis in his work shifted to monumental objects, made of natural stone, steel, ferrocement, cast resin and rubber, commissioned by government and industry. Many of these sculptures can still be found in public spaces, such as the Peace Monument in the Hoekenesgracht in Amsterdam (1986) Breath (1991) in Ommen and the trees in the Citadel of Den Bosch (1986).
