Frances Morris on ‘Phyllida Barlow. unscripted’ in Somerset

The work of Phyllida Barlow (1944 - 2023) takes over our Somerset gallery in a celebration of the
British artist’s transformative approach to sculpture; marking the gallery’s 10th anniversary that was
inaugurated by Barlow’s solo exhibition ‘GIG’ in 2014.
Curated by Frances Morris, ‘Phyllida Barlow. unscripted’ brings together a collection of the artist’s signature elements from several major installations, as well as a number of free-standing sculptures ranging from the early 1970s to work made in the last year of Barlow’s life.
‘Phyllida Barlow. unscripted’ continues through 5 January at Hauser & Wirth Somerset.

How wonderful to have this survey of Phyllida Barlow’s extraordinary work at Hauser and Wirth coming from Australia in august to see it. Frances Morris’ in depth knowledge, respect and friendship with the artist is the perfect choice as the curator. Having seen this short video I cannot wait!

The host narrated about the artist and her work thoughtfully, succinctly, and beautifully.

An exotic wanderlust in scrim and plaster

Such an amazing artist. Such a sensitive and intelligent response to Barlow’s installations.

WONDERFUL video. I did not know who she was and am very happy to have 'discovered' her at this late date.
I hate when it is hinted at that someone has died but it is not said. That made me curious... so, I went looking. THEN, no one will say WHAT THE CAUSE OF DEATH was !!! WHY??? Why will no one say? Why are we so afraid of speaking of death??? It is a natural part of life and UNnatural to avoid it so pointedly. It then takes on this weird shape. Much like one of her tremendous sculptures.

I'd be curious too
