In the late 1960s, American artist Lynda Benglis (b. 1941) expanded coordinates of media and gender with her bold, physical, and tactile works. Over the course of her groundbreaking career, she has forged new paths through her endless explorations of different techniques, materials, and mediums. 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.
