Lynda Benglis’ new translucent sculpture is her first cast in polyurethane and is composed of three elements, each more than 10 feet tall. Known for her exploration of metaphorical, sexual and biomorphic shapes, Benglis is deeply concerned with the physicality of form and how it affects the viewer: soft becomes hard, hard becomes soft and gestures are frozen. In The Graces, each spiraling segment stacked, tipped and shifting embodies her ongoing engagement with material fluidity.

Lynda Benglis is also included in the Tate’s current Summer of Love exhibition.
