Summary
Gego (b. 1912, Hamburg, Germany. Immigrated to Venezuela from Nazi Germany in 1939 - d. Caracas, 1994) stands out as one of the most creative, original artists of the 20th century. This exhibition offers a chronological and thematic survey of the artistœs work from the early 1950s to early 1990s, and includes approximately 150 works ranging from sculpture to drawings, prints and textiles. The exhibition charts the evolution of Gegoœs distinctive approach to abstraction and highlights her drawing and printmaking practice in dialogue with her extraordinary three-dimensional series, including her vibrational and kinetic sculptures of the 1950s and 1960s: Chorros (1970-71), Reticuláreas cuadradas (1970-73), Columnas (1971), Columnas (Reticuláreas cuadradas) (1972), Troncos (1974-77), Dibujos sin papel (1976-88), Esferas (1976-77), and Bichitos/Bichos (1987-91). The exhibition demonstrates Gegoœs significant formal and conceptual contributions to modern and contemporary art, highlighting her intersections with key transnational art movements including geometric abstraction and kinetic art of the 1950-60s, and minimalism and postminimalism of the 1960-70s. Furthermore, the exhibition references the sociocultural history of Latin America and advances an understanding and appreciation of Gegoœs work within the larger context of twentieth-century modernism as one of the major artistic figures of the second half of the century.
