Henry Moore sculpture Draped Seated Woman returns to the East End after 20 years “Old Flo” is an East Ender again, as she relocates to her new home in Canary Wharf Henry Moore’s Draped Seated Woman has made a triumphant return to the East End, following a twenty year stay in Yorkshire. Known affectionately as ‘Old Flo’, the famous bronze sculpture was originally housed on the Stifford Estate in Stepney, having been purchased from the sculptor by the London County Council (LCC) in 1962 as part of its inspirational Patronage of the Arts scheme. For the last 20 years, Old Flo has been on loan to Yorkshire Sculpture Park meaning local residents have not easily been able to catch a glimpse of her. The sculpture has now returned to the East End this month and will be hosted in Canary Wharf’s Cabot Square. The move comes after Canary Wharf Group won an open tender to bring Draped Seated Woman back to Tower Hamlets.
