'Winged Figure' by Barbara Hepworth

Winged Figure is a sculpture by British sculptor Barbara Hepworth from 1963.  She won the competition to express "the idea of common ownership and common interests in a partnership of thousands of works".

Winged Figure sits on the side of the John Lewis shop in Oxford Street, which was reconstructed in the early 60s after the original buildings were damaged by bombing in 1940.
