Nature as inspiration \nand the connectedness between his works \u0026 the \nlandscape are significant themes in Moore\u0027s works, \nwhich support Kew\u0027s over-arching mission to protect \nthe natural world. \nHenry Moore Foundation holds the IP of all works that \nwill be exhibited at (RBG Kew) Wakehurst and require \nthat only Mtec Fine Art are experienced \u0026 trusted to \ntransport several valuable and unique artworks.\n4 large-scale bronze works (some up to 2.5 m, 5600kg) \nThe contract value includes: project management, \ninstall \u0026 deinstall planning \u0026 delivery, including fine art \ntechnicians to transport \u0026 handle artworks, driving \nspecialist vehicles (cranes, MEWPs etc), managing \nfabrication of specialist plinths/bases for sculptures, \nexcavations to specified scope of works by HMF, \nworking within (RBG Kew) Wakehurst site policies and \nprocedures. A detailed breakdown of cost have been \nprovided. \nAs a heavily collected and commercialised artist, \nworking with Henry Moore Foundation and Mtec Fine \nArt will also bring back financial benefit to (RBG Kew) \nWakehurst through retail and publishing sales.",
