To coincide with Beyond Form: Lines of Abstraction, 1950 - 1970 Turner Contemporary presents three recent sculptures by LYDA BENGLIS in the Sunley Gallery. 

Born in 1941, Lynda Benglis is celebrated for carving out a unique space within the male-dominated art world, earning acclaim for her pioneering use of wax and poured latex. Her latest polished bronze sculptures, with their dynamic and fluid forms, continue to challenge perceptions of space. These evolved from her Elephant Necklaces, clay sculptures, digitally enlarged into bronze, underscoring her deep exploration of materiality and the transformative process of form.
