With Barry Flanagan is a vivid account of a friendship that evolved
into a working relationship when Richard McNeff became 'spontaneous
fixer' (Flanagan's description) of the sculptor's show held in June
1992 at the Museum of Contemporary Art on Ibiza, where they were
both living. McNeff was to gain a privileged insight into the
sculptor's singular personality and eccentric working methods,
learning to decipher his memorably surreal turns of phrase and to
parry his fascinating, if at times unsettling, pranksteresque
quirks . In September 1992 Flanagan and McNeff took the show to
Majorca, resulting a lively visit to the celebrated Spanish artist
Miquel Barcelo. The following year McNeff was involved in
Flanagan's print- making venture in Barcelona and in his Madrid
retrospective. Flanagan rescued him from a rough landing in England
in 1994 by commissioning a tour of stone quarries there.
Subsequently McNeff ran into a fourteen- year-old profoundly deaf
girl who turned out to be his unknown daughter. She had a talent
for art and the superbly generous sculptor was instrumental in
helping with her studies. Late in 2008 Barry was diagnosed with
motor neurone disease. By June 2009 he was wheelchair- bound. Two
months later he died, and McNeff read the lesson at his funeral.
Fleshed out with biographical detail, much of it supplied by the
sculptor himself, supplemented by photographs and details of the
work, this touching memoir is the first retrospective of a major
Welsh-born artist. With Barry Flanagan captures the spirit of this
remarkable Merlinesque figure in a moving portrait that reveals a
true original.
