Phyllida Barlow: Sculpture, 1963–2023' is a comprehensive guide to Phyllida Barlow’s sculptural language, charting the progression of the artist’s extraordinary and influential career. Barlow’s restless invented forms stretch the limits of mass, volume, and height, challenging her audience into a new relationship with the sculptural object, the gallery environment, and the world beyond. Originally published by Fruitmarket and Hatje Cantz in 2015, this major monograph begins in the 1960s and documents six decades of Barlow’s astonishing sculptures and expansive installations, including the Duveen Commission for Tate Britain (2014) and her 2015 Fruitmarket exhibition, set. It has now been expanded to include Barlow’s important exhibitions in the years that followed, among them the British Pavilion for the 2017 Venice Biennale, her work for New York’s High Line (2018), and her Schwitters-Prize-winning exhibition at the Sprengel Museum in Hannover (2022). Authored by curator Frances Morris, who has made extensive additions to her original text for this updated edition, and featuring illustrations of over 130 works, 'Phyllida Barlow: Sculpture, 1963–2023' is the indispensable resource on the important British sculptor.
