Go behind the scenes of Phyllida Barlow’s extraordinary work in this essential guide to her practice, one of the two inaugural volumes in a new series from Hauser & Wirth Publishers.

British artist Phyllida Barlow is renowned for her transformative approach to sculpture, creating restless, invented forms that challenged audiences into a new relationship with the sculptural object, the gallery environment, and the world beyond. In this generously illustrated and accessible guide to Barlow’s life and work, curator Frances Morris explores the development of Barlow’s work and the behind-the-scenes of her process: the making, unmaking, and remaking, chance, mishaps, and changes of mind through which the artist produced her pioneering works of art.

Combining Morris’ expert insights with a timeline of Barlow’s life and career and never-before-seen archival images and details, ‘In the Studio: Phyllida Barlow’ is an excellent resource for both newcomers and those familiar with Barlow’s groundbreaking work.

She created large-scale yet anti-monumental sculptures from inexpensive, low-grade materials such as cardboard, fabric, plywood, polystyrene, scrim, plaster and cement. These constructions were often painted in industrial or vibrant colors, the seams of their construction left at times visible, revealing the means of their making.
