Five decades of Lynda Benglis’s sculpture, from a 1972 knot of plastered wire mesh to recent bronzes, with rarely shown glass works from 1985.

The earliest piece, Sparkle Knot IV (1972), is a knot of wire-mesh tubing coated in plaster, paint and glitter. Also shown are pleated wire-mesh wall pieces covered in gold leaf or sprayed metal (1982–1990), handmade paper stretched over chicken wire (2016–2020), sand-cast glass knots from 1985, large reflective bronzes, small folded ceramics from the 2010s and Elephant Necklace (2016), 37 black glazed ceramic forms laid in a circle on the floor.
