An authoritative study of Gego, whose distinctive modernist practice sits at the intersection of architecture, design, and the visual arts This important book is the first extended study of the life and work of German-born Venezuelan artist Gertrude Goldschmidt (1912-94), known as Gego. In locating the artist's contribution to postwar art and her important place in the global conversations around modernity, Mónica Amor explores her intermedial practice as a model of cultural complexity at the "edge of modernity." In situating Gego's work alongside other local archives and against her European education and global reception, Amor offers a monographic model that complicates traditional approaches to history. She investigates the full range of Gego's work, including her furniture workshop, her teaching at schools of architecture and design, her seminal reticuláreas, and her lesser-known prints. Through rigorous archival research, formal analysis, theoretical relevance, and deep exploration of historical context, this essential book unpacks Gego's radical recasting of the modern sculptural project through her engagement with architecture, craft, and design pedagogy.

In the intricate wire sculptures of the German-born Venezuelan artist Gego (1912-94), lines are given new dimension, describing architectural space and engaging with the human body. Gego: Autobiography of a Line gathers key works from the artist's oeuvre, from her famed entropic sculpture of the '70s to the works on paper created at the end of her long career. This fully illustrated publication is among the first to position Gego's work in a global context, and features texts by curator Chus Martínez, head of the Institute of Art of the FHNW Academy of Arts and Design in Basel, Switzerland; art historian Kaira Cabañas; and Gego's grandson, Daniel Crespin; as well as previously unpublished archival material. The book also includes "GEGO," a new poem by poet, artist and composer Anne Tardos, performing a linguistic intervention in Gego's work.

From the late 1950s until the 1980s, the German-born Venezuelan artist Gego (Gertrud Goldschmidt) made drawings, prints, three-dimensional works, hanging-net pieces (reticulareas), and wire constructions (drawings without paper) of extraordinary quality. Taken as a whole, these works illustrate the issue at the core of her production: the liberation of line from volume and form into space. Though little known outside of Latin America, Gego's work enjoyed a dialogue with twentieth-century artists and movements active not only in Venezuela, but also worldwide. In a series of essays examining her art in relation to Modernism, Informalism, kinetic art, and other tendencies, this volume--the second in the MFAH International Center for the Arts of the Americas series--situates Gego in her international context.

The work of Gego (Gertrud Goldschmidt, 1912-1994) relatively unknown outside of Latin America is an extraordinary example of the decisive changes that influenced modern culture after WWII. Born in Hamburg, she studied Architecture and engineering and then emigrated to Venezuela in 1939 where she began her artistic career. Her work, however, has only begun to be noticed recently by critics.Gego: Defying structures deals with a mistrust of architecture, starting with her first pieces, which were heavily influenced by constructivism, until those showing her decisive break with predominating paradigms (Reticulareas), and her adoption of a new sculptural language that materializes in metallic wefts that evolve towards ambiguous forms somewhere between organic and geometric (Chorros, Troncos y Esferas).

The German-born Venezuelan artist known as Gego (1912-1994) created spare and unequivocally abstract drawings, prints, three-dimensional works, hanging net pieces, and wire constructions of extraordinary quality. Although championed early in her career by Alfred Barr, founder of MoMA, Gego has remained little known outside of Latin America. This exquisitely designed and produced book - presented in both Spanish and English - features Gego's complete oeuvre, which includes over four hundred prints and drawings as well as three-dimensional works. Born Gertrud Goldschmidt in Hamburg, Germany, Gego studied architecture and engineering before emigrating to Venezuela in 1939 to escape the rise of Nazism. With firm grounding in the universal laws and language of physics, she devoted her artistic career to exploring the line. Her unique geometric understandings were expressed in configurations of various materials that allowed viewers to enter an unlimited, fascinating space of perceptual interaction."

"Accompanying the first major museum retrospective exhibition of Gego's work in the U.S. in more than 15 years, this definitive illustrated catalog charts the evolution of the German-Venezuelan artist's singular approach to abstraction through organic forms, linear structures, and systematic spatial investigations. Featuring over 300 images, including more than 160 sculptures, drawings, prints, artist's books, textiles, and installations made between the early 1950s and the early 1990s, this volume also presents 11 illustrated essays by experts in the field of modern and contemporary Latin American art. The texts trace Gego's artistic development across various mediums and disciplines, including her significant contributions to architecture and design; situate her practice in relation to art movements that materialized in Latin America, Europe, and the U.S. during her lifetime; and consider the pedagogical influence she exerted through her two-decade teaching career in Caracas. An illustrated chronology traces Gego's life, artistic development, and exhibition history--all contextualized within the rich cultural milieus in which she lived and worked. Also featured are images of Gego's Reticulâarea, an environmental installation widely considered to be her magnum opus, and a series of photographs taken by the artist's partner at their shared home and studio in Caracas. Despite her unique contributions, Gego remains lesser known in the U.S. today; this essential publication advances a more expansive understanding and appreciation of her oeuvre within the context of 20th-century modernism. Gego came into her own as a multidisciplinary practitioner in the midst of Venezuela's rapid development into a modern state. Born in Hamburg in 1912, she trained as an architect and engineer in Germany before fleeing Nazi persecution in 1939, when she immigrated to Venezuela. There Gego worked as an architect and a designer before embarking on an artistic career that she pursued over the course of four decades until her death, in 1994. This publication features texts by Mâonica Amor, Ruth Auerbach, Tanya Barson, Vered Engelhard, Julieta Gonzâalez, Geaninne Gutiâerrez-Guimaräaes, Pablo Leâon de la Barra, Sean Nesselrode Moncada, Luis Pâerez-Oramas, Mari Carmen Ramâirez, and Michael Wellen"--Provided by publisher.

German-born Venezuelan artist Gego produced a wide range of line based abstract work. This text traces her exploration of line and space and her attempts to make visible the invisible. By manipulating the density of lines or by interrupting them, she brought light, shadow and feeling into her linear works.

Viele Werke von Gego (1912-1994) kann man drehen, umgehen oder durchschreiten, und sie verändern dabei ständig die Komposition. Filigran und reduziert und dennoch von fast tänzerischer Leichtigkeit, lassen sich ihre Gitterskulpturen wie Reliefbilder vor die Wand hängen oder frei im Raum positionieren. Die in Hamburg geborene venezolanische Künstlerin schuf ihre Rauminstallationen aus Draht, Seilen oder Aluminiumstäben und teils mit gefundenen Materialien, wie Kleiderbügeln oder Metallfedern. Geprägt durch ihre Ausbildung - Gertrud Goldschmidt studierte vor ihrer Emigration 1939 an der Technischen Hochschule in Stuttgart bei Paul Bonatz Architektur -, waren für Gego die Konstruktion von Strukturen und die Formung des Raums auch bei ihrer künstlerischen Arbeit, die sich die Linie zum Gegenstand nahm, von großer Bedeutung. Die Publikation gibt Einblick in das zeichnerische und skulpturale Werk der Künstlerin und beleuchtet erstmals den Einfluss von Gegos Stuttgarter Studienzeit auf ihre Arbeit.
