New York, NY | “Gego: Measuring Infinity” at The Guggenheim
April 26, 2023 | 5:00 pm – 6:00 pm
Join us at the Guggenheim as curator Andrea Zambrano walks us through a retrospective of one of the great pioneering Venezuelan artists, Gego—or Gertrud Goldschmidt (b. 1912, Hamburg; d. 1994, Caracas). Gego’s two-and-three dimensional works across many media explored the relationship between line, space, and volume. Her practice is grounded in the intersections of geometric abstraction, Kinetic art, Minimalism, and Post-Minimalism. Trained as an architect (b. 1912 Hamburg; d. 1994 Caracas), known for her organic forms, linear structures, and spatial investigations, this exhibition will establish her legacy in the Americas.
Andrea Zambrano is an emerging curator and art historian whose primary research interests are in modern and contemporary Latin American art. In 2021 she joined the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, serving as the curatorial assistant on Alex Katz: Gathering (2021). Currently, Andrea is on the curatorial team of Gego: Measuring Infinity, working alongside exhibition curators Geaninne Gutiérrez-Guimarães and Pablo Leon de la Barra. For the 2nd group tour, there will be a specialist in the Department of Education.
Special thanks to Julia P. Herzberg, Ph.D, Regan Larroque, and Leah Heister Burton for this event.
