Lynda Benglis: In the Realm of the Senses

Nov 22, 2019 – Mar 15, 2020
Neofitou Douka 4, Athina 106 74, Greece

“My work is an expression of space,” the pioneering artist Lynda Benglis has said. “What is the experience of moving? Is it pictorial? Is it an object? Is it a feeling? It all comes from my body.” Most famous for her sculptures, Benglis works in wax, bronze, aluminum, marble, latex, ceramics, and glass. The flutings of ancient columns, the hexagons of the honeycomb, windblown pleats, and wingless torsos, all can be fleetingly glimpsed in her work. This is Benglis’s first solo show in Greece, a country that has influenced her enormously. —E.C.
