Clive Barker (b.1940) is considered the most important sculptor of the British Pop Art Movement. Known for his witty chrome and bronze renditions of household objects and pop-culture icons, Barker was one of the few sixties British Pop artists to work primarily with sculpture.
The polished bronze American Payphone No.2 is a direct reference to the 1960s, when the Pop Art movement echoed the optimistic beliefs of a mass-consumer society in full expansion. It also illustrates the artist's continued commitment to spontaneity, humour and cool.
Barker's works are in the collections of Tate Modern, London
The Hirshhorn Museum & Sculpture Garden, Smithsonian Institution, Washington D.C.
British Museum, London
StKunsthalle, Mannheim
Museum für Moderne Kunst, Frankfurt
Sintra Museum of Modern Art, Sintra
Imperial War Museum, London
Victoria and Albert Museum, London
Collection of Sir Paul McCartney
Collection of Jude Law.
