Lynda Benglis American
Not on view
In Apena, folds of clay drip with a riot of glazes in a fusing of form and surface. Benglis was not trained as a potter, and her art is unencumbered by ceramic traditions. She pushes the material in a distinctly new direction, utilizing an approach that she employs in her other works across mediums.
