Una de las figuras más importantes del modernismo latinoamericano del siglo XX, la artista venezolana Gego se instala en Nueva York con la muestra Origin and Encounter, Mastering the Space, en la Galería de la Americas Society. La muestra celebra el primer centenario de su nacimiento y un esperado tributo de Nueva York a la artista, con una selección de sus dibujos, fotografías, manuscritos y obras tridimensionales que iluminan su tránsito, de paisajes coloridos y escenas callejeras hasta la abstracción.

About the exhibition:
Americas Society co-presents an exhibition with Sala Mendoza and Fundación Gego Caracas to commemorate the hundredth anniversary of acclaimed artist Gertrud Goldschmidt. Widely known as Gego, the Venezuelan artist is considered one of the most important Latin American modernists of the twentieth century.
This exhibition features a significant group of works on paper, preparatory drawings, photographs, manuscripts, sketches, and three-dimensional works that attest to the artist’s journey from colorful landscapes and street scenes through to abstraction. As one of the very few venues where the in situ Reticulárea was recreated, Americas Society is proud to examine Gego’s innovative and groundbreaking command of space.
