Dame Phyllida Barlow DBE RA (4 April 1944 – 12 March 2023) was a British visual artist.[1] She studied at Chelsea College of Art (1960–1963) and the Slade School of Art (1963–1966).[2] She joined the staff of the Slade in the late 1960s and taught there for more than forty years. She retired from academia in 2009 and in turn became an emerita professor of fine art. She had an important influence on younger generations of artists; at the Slade her students included Rachel Whiteread and Ángela de la Cruz.[3] In 2017 she represented Great Britain at the Venice Biennale.[4]
