The print features fluid sweeps of lilac contrasting with the bold straight lines which recreate the stringed forms that encapsulated so much of Hepworth's sculptural work. Barbara Hepworth's aluminium prototype for Winged Figure (1961-3) was commissioned by John Lewis for their flagship branch in London's Oxford Street. Almost 6 metres high, it is the only working model to survive for the monumental commissions Hepworth received in later life. Winged Figure has become a much-loved, familiar sight to millions of shoppers over the last 50 years.
