Gego by Monica Amor

An authoritative study of Gego, whose distinctive modernist practice sits at the intersection of architecture, design, and the visual arts
“In this dexterous analysis of Gego's practice, including her architectural training in Germany and her teaching at the schools of architecture and design in Venezuela, Amor unpacks the complexity of the cultural scenes and visual languages that informed the artist's work and thought”—T’ai Smith, author of Bauhaus Weaving Theory: From Feminine Craft to Mode of Design

“Weaving together formal analysis, historical narrative, and critical reflection, Gego is a major contribution to the historiography of Venezuelan and Latin American art.”—Harper Montgomery, author of The Mobility of Modernism: Art and Criticism in 1920s Latin America

Mónica Amor is professor at the Maryland Institute College of Art. She is the author of Theories of the Nonobject: Argentina, Brazil, Venezuela, 1944–1969.
