Announcing Lynda Benglis: Elemental
Opening January 2027. Featuring nearly 40 works spanning six decades, Lynda Benglis: Elemental reframes the work of American artist and Newcomb College alumna Lynda Benglis by foregrounding the role the Gulf Coast has had in her work — examining how Benglis’ environment, family history, and education informed her artistic practice. Elemental traces the evolution of Benglis’ art through rare drawings, paintings, ceramics, glass, and metal. On view January 21 – May 20, 2027.
