Description

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. The book also includes “GEGO,” a new poem by poet, artist and composer Anne Tardos, performing a linguistic intervention in Gego’s work.. 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.
