Artist Phyllida Barlow died this past week at the age of 78. She was on the periphery of my art knowledge but social media dropped crumbs of information to mark her passing and I followed them. So worth it, as the fuller story of Barlow’s life is a tonic for the frustration I’ve been experiencing about the gender inequity of the art world.

Plus, I took her story personally.
