Phyllida Barlow. unscripted
The work of Phyllida Barlow (1944 – 2023) takes over Hauser & Wirth Somerset in a celebration of the British artist’s transformative approach to sculpture, marking the 10th anniversary of the arts centre that was inaugurated by Barlow’s solo exhibition ‘GIG’ in 2014.
‘Phyllida Barlow. unscripted’ explores the evolution of Barlow’s formal and expressive vocabulary, bringing together singular sculptures, installations, studio maquettes and drawings from her extensive career, some of which are on public view for the first time.
Alongside the exhibition, Hauser & Wirth Learning has launched a new Education Lab, ‘Open Art School’, in partnership with Bath Spa University. Taking Barlow’s life-long engagement with arts education, the Education Lab draws on the latest thinking within creative pedagogy and experimental learning.

Oudolf created a garden that is timeless throughout the changing seasons, providing a sanctuary for visitors to slow down and savour moments within nature at their own pace. At the top of Oudolf Field sits the Radić Pavilion, designed by Chilean architect Smiljan Radić, unveiled at the Serpentine Gallery, London in 2014.
