The UK sculptor Phyllida Barlow, who was recently made a CBE in the New Year Honours, appears to be making a series of new works for an exhibition at Tate Modern later this year, although when they will go on show remains a mystery. Barlow says on the Royal Academy of Arts’ website that she is “working on 100 small sculptures for Tate Modern… they’re assemblages on a very small scale and they’re made from the debris and offcuts that I collect in my studio”. The artist explains that 20 works made for a show at Edinburgh’s Fruitmarket Gallery last summer were the inspiration for the new pieces. A spokeswoman for the Tate says: “We will be announcing the displays at Tate Modern in the spring.” Perhaps Barlow’s works will pop up in the museum’s new extension, which is due to open on 17 June.
