A photo of a gallery with Giacometti's sculpture Half-Length of a Man on the left, and on the wall to the right is one of his paintings and some colourful paper sculptures by Lynda Benglis.

Our Relaxed Viewings are dedicated to visitors who would benefit from a more informal approach to noise and movement in the space.

The Relaxed Viewings are with a lower visitor capacity, and support visitors who would feel more comfortable knowing that they can enter and exit freely.

Lynda Benglis presents a body of previously unseen works alongside her own selection of Alberto Giacometti’s sculptures, opening up connections and dialogues across generations.

Since the 1960s, US artist Benglis has been celebrated for the free, ecstatic forms she has made that are at once, playful and visceral, organic and abstract. Alberto Giacometti is one of the most significant European sculptors of the 20th century, known for his distinctive, elongated sculptures which experiment with the human form.
