Summary:
Accompanying the first major museum retrospective exhibition of Gego’s work in the US in more than 15 years, this expansive, definitive catalog charts the evolution of Gego’s singular approach to abstraction through organic forms, linear structures and systematic spatial investigations.

This essential publication advances an expanded understanding and appreciation of the artist’s work within the context of 20th-century modernism.
