As one of the few Pop artists to work primarily with sculpture for over forty years, Barker's creative engagement forms a particularly important part of the Pop art story. His replications of factory-made consumer goods in gleaming metals have been linked to the exotic, the unattainable, the erotic and the romantic and fully deserved their place on the glamorous centre stage of the art world of the 'Swinging Sixties'. Today, his art continues to surprise with its immediacy and sense of fun, that had made his art so accessible from the start. This publication is the first comprehensive study about Barker's art. It opens with and essay by Marco Livingstone, whose many publications include a definitive study on Pop Art. His in-depth discussion of key themes, punctuated by factual details of the artist's evolution, witnesses great insight into Barker's creative engagement. The catalogue raisonne researched by An Jo Fermon finally illustrates and documents for the first time Barker's important artistic testimony to those ever-fascinating times during which popular culture emerged in post-war Britain. Thoroughly researched and lavishly illustrated, this book is essential to anybody with an interest in the field of Pop culture.
