Pippy Houldsworth Gallery is delighted to announce its participation in Art Basel OVR: Pioneers dedicated to artists who have broken new ground in terms of their aesthetics, conceptual approach, socio-political frameworks, or their use of specific mediums.
The gallery's booth, Jetsam Poetry: the Sculpture of Bill Woodrow 1972-90, will feature some of the key works from this period of Woodrow's artistic production, including a number of his iconic 'cut-outs'.
Between 1972 and 1990, Bill Woodrow made some of the most intriguing and enigmatic sculptures of his generation. In 1972, at the remarkably early age of 23, the artist was given his first solo show by the Whitechapel Gallery, London. Further solo exhibitions followed at the Museum of Modern Art, Oxford (1983); Kunsthalle Basel (1986); Seattle Art Museum (1988); Tate Britain (1988, 1996); Camden Arts Centre (1995); Tate Modern (2000-1); South London Gallery (2001) and the Royal Academy of Arts (2013). He was shortlisted for the Turner Prize (1986). Woodrow was awarded the Fourth Plinth commission, Trafalgar Square (2000).
