Notes

Lynda BENGLIS (1941 - ) American sculptor born in Louisiana. Known for her works made of latex, Lynda Benglis offers art that is sensual and erotic, and plays on the ambiguity of the sexes. The representation of the female body plays a major role in her work. Lynda’s poster… Geometric shapes are created by using the Olympic rings. The effect produced is that of an aerial view of a stadium. Offset lithograph.
