Shown together for the first time, the works of contemporary artist Lynda Benglis and those of Alberto Giacometti form the third exhibition in the Encounters: Giacometti series presented at the Barbican Centre in London.
Since the 1960s, the American artist Benglis has been known for her free and ecstatic forms, at once playful and visceral, organic and abstract. Alberto Giacometti is one of the most important European sculptors of the 20th century, renowned for his characteristic elongated figures that probe the human form.
Lynda Benglis presents a set of new works alongside her own selection of Alberto Giacometti’s sculptures, creating connections and dialogues across generations.
Exhibition curators: Emilie Bouvard (Fondation Giacometti) and Shanay Jhaveri (Barbican Centre)
