Encounters: Giacometti x Lynda Benglis

In the Barbican exhibition series  ‘Encounters: Giacometti’, living artists will showcase their art in response to the esteemed work of Alberto Giacometti, who passed away in 1966. The upcoming and final sculptor that will be in discussion with Giacometti will be American artist Lynda Benglis. She will present new and old pieces and her personal selection of Giacometti’s sculptures. Known for pouring hot pigmated latex onto the floor and letting it form into a solid structure, Benglis’ work is often colourful, abstract, and holds a mirror to society.
