Artist Lynda Benglis reunites with her first fountain, The Wave of the World (1983–84), which went missing in the years following the 1984 Louisiana World Exposition where the work was originally installed.
Artist: Lynda Benglis (American, born Lake Charles, Louisiana, 1941) Date: 1973. Medium: Single-channel digital video, transferred from video tape, color, sound, 12 min. Classification: Variable Media. Credit Line: Purchase, Henry Nias Foundation Inc. Gift, 2010. Accession Number: 2010.242.
A pioneer of a form of abstraction in which each work is the result of materials in action—poured latex and foam, cinched metal, dripped wax—Benglis has created sculptures that eschew minimalist reserve in favor of bold colors, sensual lines, and lyrical references to the human body.
Bringing together 33 of Benglis’s sculptures, paintings, drawings, prints, and videos—most given to the National Gallery by Dorothy and Herbert Vogel—this exhibition reveals the innovations of a critical figure who has influenced generations of artists.
