Lynda Benglis

Immerse yourself in the electrifying, rule-shattering world of Lynda Benglis. Lynda Benglis is renowned for challenging conventions and reinventing materials. This approach is already evident in her celebrated ‘pours’, first made in the late 1960s, when she mixed latex and Day-Glo pigments and poured them directly onto the floor to dramatic effect. Over the following decades, Benglis has continued to push the boundaries of form and material across video, photography, sculpture and installation, working with substances as varied as polyurethane foam, bronze, ceramic, paper and glitter, to create an oeuvre as surprising as it is radical. This monograph presents more than 50 works spanning the late 1960s to the present, showcasing the inventive aesthetic that has cemented the American artist’s role as one of the most influential artists of our time.
