Holes & Torsos. Even in its final form, the result would horrify a Michelangelo or, only 50 years ago, a Rodin. But today, Henry Moore's massive, pinheaded women with gaping holes in their torsos adorn public buildings or parks in a dozen cities and occupy places of honor in 53 museums over most of the world, including 14 in the U.S. At a recent showing in the small city of Galle, Ceylon, a crowd of 10,000 flocked to see his works in three days.
