An architect and engineer trained at the Stuttgart University of Applied Sciences of Technology, Gertrud Goldschmidt (Gego) fled Nazi persecution in 1939 and emigrated to Venezuela, where she remained for the rest of her life. There he became a key figure in art movements that emerged in the second half of the 20th century, such as geometric abstraction and kinetic art in the 1950s and 1960s.
It traverses his interdisciplinary artistic production through different but interrelated fields: architecture, design, sculpture, drawing, printmaking, fabric, site-specific installations, spatial interventions, public art, and pedagogy. Organized chronologically, the exhibition includes more than 120 works in a variety of materials from the early 1950s to the 1990s, spanning all periods in the development of the artist's practice.
