Almost a decade after her death in 2015, at the age of 90, the artist Sheila Girling is finally getting her due. Girling was an advisor to her husband, the esteemed sculptor Anthony Caro, whose abstract metal work earned him international acclaim in the 1950s. But she was also an artist. For the duration of their marriage, which she called “a 64-year conversation about art,” Gerling’s own work was overshadowed by Caro’s. Now it’s time to secure her place in cultural history. The couple’s son Paul Caro and grandson Ben Caro have helped organize an exhibition of over 90 paintings and collages by Girling. A mixture of large-scale abstract paintings and smaller figurative works, Gerling’s vibrant pieces cover the walls and ceilings of the Bowhouse community space, filling the room with impassioned energy. “My parents were totally equals,” says Paul Caro, “they didn’t regard his work as more important than hers.” —Nyla Gilstrap
