Art Talk Live: Gego–A Drawing in Space

Join curator Mary Schneider Enriquez for a close look at the pioneering work of artist Gego and her place within the burgeoning Venezuelan art scene in the mid-20th century. Focusing on a new acquisition from the artist’s Drawings without Paper series, this talk will explore Gego’s practice of marrying a language of structure with an evocative sense of experimentation, in sculptures that combine materials typically pieced together by hand.

Led by:
Mary Schneider Enriquez, Houghton Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art
