Since the 1960s, Phyllida Barlow has produced a unique and dynamic body of work focused on the investigation into materiality, form, and process in the wake of the minimalist and post-minimalist art movement of the 60s and 70s. Counter to reductive, hard-edged, and industrially-manufactured works, Barlow works in a material expansiveness that creates massive organic shapes and accumulations that relate directly to the urban environment.
