Over the course of his five decade-long career, Bill Woodrow has established himself as one of the most important British sculptors of his generation. Coming to international prominence in the early 1980s as part of the New British Sculptors movement,Woodrow is known for his early ‘cut-out’ sculptures and later works in bronze and steel. Both thought-provoking and humorous, his pieces bring together disparate objects and references, continually subverting expectation.
