American artist Lynda Benglis attended Newcomb College, New Orleans. Taking the body and landscape as primary references, Benglis’s work exudes immediacy and physicality. Her interest in process has led to experimentation with materials including poured latex, wax, precious metals and glass. Benglis has exhibited worldwide in venues including the Whitney Museum of American Art; the Centre George Pompidou, Paris; and Tate Modern. A major solo exhibition of her work took place in IMMA in 2009.
