A propos de cet article

Folio. [5] 168pp. Original textured off-white stiff wraps with gray lettering on cover and spine. Photo-illustrated endpapers. Frontispiece photograph. Half-title printed in brown, title page in brown and black. Two folding plates. "In the present exhibition's title, Autobiography of a Line, we find the poetic reverbarations of one of Gego's closest friends: Alfredo Silva Estrada, a Venezuelan pioneer of cocrete poetry. Silva Estrada once referred to Gego's work as tejida luz (woven light), and he is one of the main sources of the lyricism that surrounds her worka lyricism that she must have enjoyed, given her manifest love for language. Today, from our point of view, such lyrical language remains relevant, since it offers a historical explanation for the continuous metaphorical projections that are so common in the readings og Gego's oeuvre." (Antelo-Suarez/Fuenmayor). This spectacular exhibition catalog is illustrated with high quality reproductions of Gego's installations, objects and works on paper in color and b/w as well as b/w photographs provided by the Gego Foundation, institutions and private lenders. A detailed list of photographs with credits and provenance on imprint page. Contains a selected chronology and checklist of the exhibition as well as a list of public collections containing works of Gego. Gego (Gertrud Goldschmidt) was born in 1912 in Hambrug, Germany. She graduated in engineering and architecture at the University of Stuttgart. With the advent of W. W. II she migrated to Caracas, Venezuela, in 1939 to excape Nazism. During the 1960s and 1970s she was a leading figure of Venezuelan abstract art. 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.…
