An updated edition of the indispensable guide to the British artist Phyllida Barlow’s sculptural oeuvre across 6 decades. Phyllida Barlow: Sculpture, 1963–2023 is a comprehensive guide to Phyllida Barlow’s sculptural language, charting the progression of the artist’s extraordinary and influential career. Barlow’s restless invented forms stretch the limits of mass, volume, and height, challenging her audience into a new relationship with the sculptural object, the gallery environment, and the world beyond. Originally published by Fruitmarket and Hatje Cantz in 2015, this major monograph begins in the 1960s and documents six decades of Barlow’s astonishing sculptures and expansive installations, including the Duveen Commission for Tate Britain (2014) and her 2015 Fruitmarket exhibition, set. It has now been expanded to include Barlow’s important exhibitions in the years that followed, among them the British Pavilion for the 2017 Venice Biennale, her work for New York’s High Line (2018), and her Schwitters-Prize-winning exhibition at the Sprengel Museum in Hannover (2022). Authored by curator Frances Morris, who has made extensive additions to her original text for this updated edition, and featuring illustrations of over 130 works, Phyllida Barlow: Sculpture, 1963–2023 is the indispensable resource on the important British sculptor.

Portia Zvavahera is one of the outstanding artists of her generation. Born in Harare, Zimbabwe in 1985, she has developed a unique combination of print/painting techniques to register a private world of dreams, fantasies and figural constructions. She received her art education in Zimbabwe in the early 2000s, and has become recognised in the past decade as one of the foremost representatives of African figuration, showcased at the Venice Biennale in 2022, and in a number of commercial gallery exhibitions in South Africa, the US and the UK. She has not yet had a solo show in a public museum in Europe. This new publication accompanies a major exhibition, curated by Tamar Garb, which will include reproductions of brand new works created on the occasion of this exhibition alongside a selection of recent and older paintings which reveal the depth and richness of Zvavahera’s practice. The focus will be on the theme of dreams, fantasy and figuration, and large details will highlight Zvavahera’s innovative amalgamation of printmaking and painting techniques that build rich surfaces to create her private cosmology of creatures and contexts.The book will feature a significant new essay from curator Tamar Garb and will centre around an extensive conversation between Garb, Sinazo Chiya, Tandazani Dhlakama and Pumla Gobodo-Madikizela discussing Zvavahera’s engagement with eros, intimacy and female-centred experience. The book will open up how Zvavahera’s works emerge from dreams; being figurative without being illustrative, registering a world of feminine experience and fantasy.
