Presentation

Lynda Benglis was born in 1941 in Louisiana. Her paintings, sculptures and installations made a statement in the 70s and earned her exhibitions at the Guggenheim Museum, Los Angeles County Museum, MoMA in New York, the National Gallery of Victoria and the Whitney. She studied at Lake Charles, her hometown, then at Newcomb College in New Orleans and Brooklyn Museum Art School.

She is particularly well-known for latex sculptures which she created as in-gallery performances during the 70s. She also created adverts questioning gender stereotypes, which shocked both the art world and feminists at the time.

Combining minimalism and modernism, her artwork brings together different materials: beeswax, polyurethane, gold leaf, latex, zinc and aluminium. She plays with the features of different materials to influence the form and intrigue the viewer.
