Phyllida Barlow (b. 1944, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK) studied at Chelsea College of Art (1960–63) and the Slade School of Art (1963–66). After joining the staff in the late 1960s, Barlow taught at the Slade School of Art for more than forty years before retiring in 2009, and is now Emerita Professor of Fine Art. Phyllida Barlow has had an important influence on younger generations of artists through her work and long teaching career in London art schools. In 2011 Barlow became a Royal Academician and in 2015 she was made a CBE. Recent solo shows include Jupiter Artland, Edinburgh (2018): Turner Contemporary, Margate (2017); Kunsthalle Zürich (2016).
