- 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.

oooh lovely just lovely what a treat
The host narrated about the artist and her work thoughtfully, succinctly, and beautifully.
WOW What a discovery for me! Thank you so much for this video!
Never heard of her before now, this is amazing!
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
She was 78, sometimes people die of old age.
@@SP-ki5gn ...actually, 'old age' is not a disease (although we are brainwashed to think of it as such). There is always some part of the body that stops functioning. And, yes... 'parts' DO wear out. But I don't think of 79 as old. I am 67, my sister is 76... and we're not old! So... I was simply wondering.
I go with that. I'm 71 and beginning to wonder. That said its an interesting exhibition. If the presenter doesnt broach the cause of her death she does baldly and boldly say "now these are indeed a pair of balls...yes they are balls", referring to two now castrated hanging testicles. I thought for a moment footballs. I am both naive and oddly sqeamish at this turn of events. There was certainly no shyness here on the part of the curator. But more seriously, all matter, man-made or not, is subject for art, the gallery space that encloses it defines it also. A shout from outside, the honk of a car horn going by contributes to the object, confers a sacredness. The 'pissotière' of Marcel Duchamp first exhibited was it in the Met in NY in the early part of the 20th century?, paved the way to the abovementioned credentials, and why not? The lost plastic toys of Spike Milligan's kids at the end of a garden and discovered many years lated by the comedian had him in tears. His children had grown and were making their way in life, and the transience of life, all life, the moment fled as had his children, has all the aesthetic components of a painting in conventional terms, a still life or as the french would have it a" nature morte", a dead nature. But i digress wildly but just to defend the artist, balls or no balls. @@andreaandrea6716
Such an amazing artist. Such a sensitive and intelligent response to Barlow’s installations.
Wonderful Artist. Thankyou.
So lucky to have this exhibition on our doorstep. Somerset Hauser @ Wirth, beautiful gardens at their best and wonderful galleries full of the best art in the world. Solstice heaven. Thank you

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!
We lost this wonderful artist way too soon!
Haaaah Haaaa HA! I mean seriously, what a ridiculous mess.
Someone had to voice it💁🏽♂️
