Very sad to hear of the passing of Phyllida Barlow. We were so fortunate she came to Leeds for ⁦Yorkshire Sculpture International⁩ talk (⬇️) and that we have astonishing sculptures and drawings by her in the collection ⁦Leeds Art Gallery⁩. Thank you Phyllida 🤍 yorkshire-sculpture.org/events/sculptu…

Deeply saddened to hear that Phyllida Barlow has passed away. We were so fortunate to have Phyllida as the ‘provocateur’ for YSI 2019, shaping the festival with her insightful observations on sculpture. RIP Phyllida 🤍 You will remain an inspiration to artists everywhere.

And this is the Yorkshire Sculpture International talk that made me realise I couldn’t give up…
