Gego: Autobiography of a Line

In the intricate wire sculptures of the German-born Venezuelan artist Gego (1912â€“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 artistâ€™s oeuvre, from her famed entropic sculpture of the â€˜70s to the works on paper created at the end of her long career.
This fully illustrated publication is among the first to position Gegoâ€™s work in a global context, and features texts by curator Chus MartÃnez, head of the Institute of Art of the FHNW Academy of Arts and Design in Basel, Switzerland; art historian Kaira CabaÃ±as; and Gegoâ€™s grandson, Daniel Crespin; as well as previously unpublished archival material. The book also includes â€œGEGO,â€ a new poem by poet, artist and composer Anne Tardos, performing a linguistic intervention in Gegoâ€™s work.
