Lynda Benglis pushing the bounderies of gender and sexual stereotypes.In an ad in the April 1974 Artforum she appears in a jacket and jeans, leaning against her silver Porsche, in a pose of slouchy West Coast male-artist cool.One, an announcement card for a show at the Clocktower in 1973, used a childhood portrait for which she wore the national dress of Greece (her family’s country of origin) the boy’s costume, since the girl’s was too small.The third photograph, by Annie Leibovitz, for the card announcing Ms. Benglis’s May 1974 exhibition at Paula Cooper, shows her from the back. She’s in Betty Grable mode, except she wears jeans that are dropped around her ankles. NYT -- source link
