Depot (detail) 1995

Phyllida Barlow's 1995 sculpture, "Depot (detail)," features large, soft, gray forms arranged on simple wooden platforms. The sculpture’s irregular forms, reminiscent of fabric or large cushions, create a sense of both solidity and fragility, suggesting the weight and vulnerability of everyday objects. The artist is known for her use of unconventional materials and her exploration of Minimalist and Post-Minimalist sculpture, often incorporating a sense of humor and irony in her work. "Depot (detail)" embodies Barlow's signature style, inviting viewers to contemplate the relationship between form, material, and the everyday.
