Wing 1970

Lynda Benglis's "Wing" (1970) is a striking example of the artist's exploration of poured and molded materials. Benglis, known for her innovative use of unconventional materials, created this abstract sculpture from a single, continuous piece of poured aluminum. Its sinuous, organic form evokes the fluidity of the molten metal, while also suggesting the weight and solidity of the finished piece. The sculpture's dynamic composition and dramatic use of light and shadow create a powerful sense of movement and energy. This work represents Benglis’s early experimentation with aluminum, which she utilized to create large-scale sculptures that defied traditional notions of form and materiality.
