Objects For...And Other Things

Although this monograph focuses on the sculpture, installations, drawings and writings of Phyllida Barlow it also provides an opportunity to chart the vagaries of sculpture, since the 1960s, which Barlow has witnessed, been influenced by and critical of. Her work consists predominantly of large, three dimensional installations in which the use of space--and our relationship to it--plays an important role. As if watching a play unfold on stage, the viewer witnesses the work and its carefully constructed plot.
