LYNDA BENGLIS – EARLY WORK 1967 – 1979
2020-10-26A major exhibition presented by Cheim & Read and Ortuzar Projects brings together work that proved crucial to the development of Lynda Benglis’s practice during her first decade in New York. Three concurrent exhibitions will be on view in Tribeca and the Upper East Side.
Lozenge-shaped wax paintings are juxtaposed with Benglis’s latex and polyurethane pours at Cheim & Read on 23 East 67th Street. One floor above, at the Ortuzar viewing room, is a selection of gilded wall sculptures inspired by the caryatids from the porch of the Erechtheion at the Acropolis in Athens. Sparkle and metallized knot sculptures, including the multi-part installation North, South, East, West, 1976, last shown in New York at a 1981 Whitney Museum exhibition, are on view at Ortuzar Projects on White Street in Tribeca.
