Phyllida Barlow: Why Make?

Phyllida Barlow in conversation with fellow artists with Kate Davis, Keith Wilson, Eric Bainbridge and Jon Wood. They discuss the question why make art?

This conversation accompanied the 2015 Fruitmarket exhibition Phyllida Barlow: Set, a major exhibition of new work made specially for the gallery. Further details about Set, including images and video, can be found at the Fruitmarket online archive 

 

In 2024 Fruitmarket and Hauser & Wirth Publishers published an updated and expended edition of the book Phyllida Barlow: Sculpture, 1963-2023 available now from the Fruitmarket online bookshop.

This major monograph is a comprehensive survey of the work of Barlow, authored by curator Frances Morris, who has made extensive additions to her original text. This new expanded edition features three new chapters by Morris, as well as a new introduction by Fruitmarket Director Fiona Bradley.
