Born in 1941 in Louisiana, Lynda Benglis challenged the status quo of painting and sculpture and transcended the boundaries of a predominantly male-dominated art world. Benglis is celebrated for her innovative use of materials such as beeswax, resin, and polyurethane foam. Her pioneering techniques, including the pigmented latex pours akin to Abstract Expressionist paintings, brought her international recognition in the late 1960s. Lynda Benglis’ recent polished bronze sculptures, arise from her deep investigation into knotted forms. They evolved from clay models to their digitally transformed bronze counterparts, allowing the works to retain the intimate touch of the artist’s hand. The reflective surfaces evoke the fluidity of liquid forms, interacting with both light and space. The sculptures cement Benglis’ reputation as one of the most influential artists working today.

This spring, Turner Contemporary will present Beyond Form: Lines of Abstraction, 1950 – 1970, a group exhibition presenting abstraction as a radical global language shared by women artists in the twenty years following World War II. Guest curated by Dr Flavia Frigeri, the exhibition will bring together the works of more than 50 artists to examine how, through abstract forms, materials and modes, women pushed the boundaries of artmaking while tackling seismic cultural, social and political shifts. Comprising over 80 artworks, predominantly sculpture, the exhibition will trace how the language of abstraction developed on a global scale. The exhibition will include sculptures by Mária Bartuszová, Louise Bourgeois, Eva Hesse and Hannah Wilke. It will highlight Marisa Merz’s Living Sculpture (1966), a piece realised within the intimate confines of a domestic space before the artist had a studio. It will also explore Carla Accardi and Marta Pan’s innovative use of modern materials to redefine space and perception. The fibre art of Maria Teresa Chojnacka and Ewa Pachucka will also be featured, symbolising resistance and liberation from state censorship or monitoring. Complementing the sculptural focus of the exhibition will be select paintings and reliefs, such as Carmen Herrera’s East (1965) and Agnes Martin’s Morning (1965), enriching the understanding of this artistic period. Together, the works included in Beyond Form will map a constellation that speaks to the global, collective language of abstraction that transcends geographical and cultural boundaries through the universal medium of sculpture.
