Gego (Gertrud Goldschmidt) was a German-born Venezuelan artist whose work transforms line into spatial architecture. Her “Reticuláreas”—large, room-sized webs of interconnected wire—redefine sculpture as porous, flexible environment.
Throughout her career she explored drawing, printmaking, teaching, and public commissions, all centered on the relationship between line, movement, and perception.
Gego is a key figure in Latin American modernism, known for dematerialized, open-form sculptures that occupy space with quiet tension.
