Lynda Benglis and Robert Morris "1973 – 1974"
Susan Inglett Gallery
This event has ended.
Susan Inglett Gallery presents Lynda Benglis and Robert Morris "1973 – 1974," an exhibition curated by Specific Object / David Platzker.
Here Specific Object presents ephemera, magazine articles, video tapes and other artworks and supporting materials that lead up to, and include, Robert Morris’ seminal chains and helmet Castelli-Sonnabend poster and Lynda Benglis’ infamous Artforum advertisement, both of which appeared in 1974. Additionally, the exhibition incorporates never before seen, unpublished letters to the editors of Artforum as well as published responses from within Artforum. The exhibition culminates with Lucy Lippard’s essay “Transformation Art,” published in Ms. Magazine in October 1975 and the inaugural issue of October which was founded following the departure of Artforum’s associate editors Rosalind Krauss and Annette Michelson in spring 1976.

Don't miss your chance to see this little bit of art history around the highly-controversial 1974 Artforum ad featuring Benglis. Wow, Artforum used to be so much hotter!
