This plaster was cast in polished bronze in an edition of 9. In the year after this work was made, Hepworth created a monumental version Three Obliques (Walk In) (1968), contrary to her normal practice of making the small counterparts after the larger works. In 1970 she cast a bronze edition of the same work, Maquette for Walk-In, and in 1969 she made a lithograph of the same subject Oblique Forms.
