Works by contemporary artist Lynda Benglis and Alberto Giacometti are displayed together for the first time in this major new exhibition.
This major exhibition is the first UK retrospective of ground-breaking Colombian artist, Beatriz González
Bringing together six decades of González’s work – from the 1960s to the present – this exhibition celebrates the artist’s extraordinary and dynamic practice. Through paintings, sculptural assemblages and monumental public installations, she persistently engages with how images permeate the world and radically reimagines what art can tell us about power, grief and memory.
Known as ‘la maestra’ in Colombia, González’s singular vision has influenced generations of artists and thinkers. Her striking body of work speaks to experiences of conflict, communion and everything in between and this retrospective, while situating González’s practice within the specific history of Colombia and its wider Latin American context, reveals how profoundly her practice resonates with global concerns.
