Lynda Benglis

Preview: written before the show opened

In the late 1960s Lynda Benglis mixed latex with Day-Glo pigment and poured it straight onto the floor, leaving it where it landed. Those pours are the earliest work in this retrospective of more than 50 pieces. Spilling paint on the floor usually costs you your deposit; Benglis built a career on it.

From there she moved through polyurethane foam, bronze, ceramic, paper and glitter, in sculpture, video, photography and installation. The Art Newspaper lists totemic wax paintings, tubular knots and biomorphic bronze mounds among them. You can see it early: Kunstmuseum Basel organised the show and opens it first, from 13 March to 1 August 2027, with more than 60 works, including Phantom (1971), a glow-in-the-dark installation never before shown publicly in Europe. Louisiana in Denmark gets it after London.

Tate hasn't set a price yet. Members go free without booking, 16 to 25s on Tate Collective pay £5, and Tate Modern is open until 21:00 on Fridays and Saturdays.
