Lynda Benglis at Cheim and Read

At over fourteen feet high, Lynda Benglis’ towering anthropomorph dominates her show of recent sculpture at Cheim & Read Gallery. Created by squirting spray foam onto chicken wire and casting the result in aluminum, its fragmentary quality makes it appear both imposing and fragile. (In Chelsea through Oct 22nd).
