Works by contemporary artist Lynda Benglis and 20th century sculptor Alberto Giacometti are displayed together for the first time in this major new exhibition, the third in Encounters: Giacometti.
Lynda Benglis presents a body of previously unseen works alongside her own selection of Alberto Giacometti’s sculptures, opening up connections and dialogues across generations.
Since the 1960s, US artist Benglis has been celebrated for the free, ecstatic forms she has made that are at once, playful and visceral, organic and abstract. Alberto Giacometti is one of the most significant European sculptors of the 20th century, known for his distinctive, elongated sculptures which experiment with the human form.
