At the time of her death in March, the British sculptor had been working on a major Public Art Fund exhibition

We sat down with the late artist earlier this year to discuss her cultural experiences and greatest influences, from Louise Nevelson to Fyodor Dostoevsky

The sculptor, erudite and irreverent, was known for the power and scale of her site-specific installations

Artist who taught Rachel Whiteread and Tacita Dean during a decades-long career at London's Slade School of Art, won critical recognition in her mid-sixties for her massive, site-specific installations

Plus, a show at Gagosian Paris brings together three British big-hitters

The works are in a show at Thaddaeus Ropac gallery in London, which includes a room curated by Antony Gormley

The not-for-profit has added 45 spaces for artists as well as a cafe and shop

Other art world figures recognised include Edmund de Waal and Martin Parr

Studio Voltaire’s ambitious off-site programme also includes commissions by Monster Chetwynd and Dawn Mellor

From exquisite Elizabethan portrait miniatures at the National Portrait Gallery to Franz West's playful sculptures at Tate Modern

From Shilpa Gupta's voices of silenced poets to Rembrandt in all his glory

Joana Vasconcelos, who is showing a giant stiletto at the Edinburgh venue, will launch her on-site swimming pool next year
