Knotted, Torn, Scattered: Sculpture after Abstract Expressionism on view starting October 3, 2020 at the Guggenheim Museum in New York

Knotted, Torn, Scattered: Sculpture after Abstract Expressionism features sculptural work in the Guggenheim collection from the 1960s and ’70s by six artists who helped redefine the legacy of postwar art in the United States. The works in this exhibition—produced by Lynda Benglis, Maren Hassinger, Robert Morris, Senga Nengudi, Richard Serra, and Tony Smith—respond to and critique the innovations of Abstract Expressionist painters by emphasizing process, material, and performance.
