Phyllida BarlowFrontier

“Phyllida Barlow tests boundaries with her monumental sculptures in an eccentric yet humorous way, reflecting on the relationship with our environment through her use of industrial and everyday materials. With impressive installation photographs and previously unpublished archival material, the publication presents Barlow’s unique oeuvre from her earliest works to the present day.

The British artist’s career is as unusual as her work, which radically challenges the contemporary concept of sculpture. Today, Barlow is considered one of Britain’s most important artists, but she has only recently broken through. She dismantled many of her works after the exhibition ended and reused them to create new sculptures. This major retrospective features drawings and pioneering works from all her creative phases, including new works formed from key sculptures that had already been destroyed.”
