Lynda Benglis in her studio
“Lynda Benglis has gone her own way since first taking on the New York art world in the 1960s. She one-upped Jackson Pollock’s action paintings in the late 1960s by pouring pools of swirling pigmented latex directly on the floor and obscuring the distinction between painting and sculpture. She challenged the rigidity of Minimalism in the early ’70s with her hardened flows of polyurethane careening off walls and bristling with allusions to the body and landscape. She lampooned both the machismo of the art world and the way artists were expected to promote themselves in a market-driven system by exposing herself, with a dildo between her legs, in a 1974 Artforum advertisement that she paid for, earning her as many fans as detractors.”
