Hepworth was commissioned by John Lewis for the corner of its new store and made a six-metre figure in aluminium with rods of stainless steel strung across it like a harp, fixed high on the Holles Street wall where it catches the light; it is the largest Hepworth in London and thousands of people walk under it every hour without looking up. Restored in 2013 for its fiftieth birthday.
