Clive Barker (British b. 1940)
As one of the few Pop artists to work primarily with sculpture for over forty years, Barker forms a particularly important part of the Pop Art story. His replications of factory-made consumer goods in gleaming metals have been linked to the exotic, the unattainable, the erotic and the romantic and deserved their place on the glamorous centre stage of the art world of the 'Swinging Sixties'. Today, his art continues to surprise with its immediacy and sense of fun that had made it so accessible from the start.
