Anvil
A monumental sculpture by British artist Phyllida Barlow, *Anvil* embodies her signature approach of transforming raw, humble materials into imposing, gravity-defying structures. The work commands its surrounding space with a sense of precarious mass and brute physicality, evoking both industrial weight and a playful subversion of sculptural convention. True to Barlow's practice, the piece challenges expectations of form and balance, oscillating between the monumental and the makeshift.
