Lynda Benglis

Renowned artist Lynda Benglis works with diverse materials—both traditional (wax, bronze, and clay) and nontraditional (latex rubber and polyurethane foam)—and has explored the form of the fountain for over thirty years. Her first fountain was a cast bronze wave, The Wave of the World (1984), a commission for the 1984 Louisiana World Exposition in New Orleans. Benglis’s AAM exhibition consists of a series of working water fountains presented outdoors in the Roof Deck Sculpture Garden. Evoking material in action, the fountains reveal the natural connection between the human form and the motion of water.
