Zentrum Paul Klee, Monument im Fruchtland 3, 3006 Bern
Gego (Gertrud Goldschmidt, 1912 in Hamburg-1994 in Caracas, Venezuela) was a German-Venezuelan artist and pioneer of abstraction in Latin America. Among other things, she is known for her drawings and her delicate, net-like sculptures and installations, which she called Reticuláreas - abstract drawings in space.
Gego, born Gertrud Louise Goldschmidt, studied architecture and engineering in Stuttgart during the National Socialist era and was strongly influenced by the ideas of the Bauhaus and modern architecture. Shortly after graduating, she was forced to flee Germany due to her Jewish origins and emigrated to Venezuela, where she devoted herself to art and teaching. The exhibition at the Zentrum Paul Klee is Gego's first solo exhibition in Switzerland and includes drawings, watercolors, prints and selected sculptures by the artist.
