THE BERTHA AND KARL LEUBSDORF ART GALLERY Hunter College, West Building, SW corner of 68th St. & Lexington Ave., New York, NY Curated by Geaninne Gutiérrez-Guimarães Organized by Sarah Watson and Annie Wischmeyer THE EXHIBITION Gego (Gertrude Goldschmidt, Venezuelan, born Germany, 1912–1994) and Gerd Leufert (Venezuelan, born Lithuania, 1914–1998) are among the most significant artists that worked with the language of abstraction during the second half of the twentieth century in Venezuela. The exhibition “Gego and Gerd Leufert: a dialogue” highlights the artists' development and reciprocal influence through a selection of core works produced from 1964 to 1990. The show explores shared motifs in the production of each of these artists, most notably their use of the line as a means of enhancing the visual potentiality of empty spaces in two- or three-dimensional form. The partnership between Gego and Leufert resulted in lifelong mutual support that concurrently nurtured their personal relationship and their independent careers as artists. “Gego and Gerd Leufert: a dialogue” provides a long-overdue, tandem examination of the artists' works; the exhibition unveils an underlying, parallel dialogue of nonobjective language within their organic forms, linear structures, and systematic, spatial investigations. Both ultimately became pioneers in their field, having a long-lasting impact on future generations of artists at national and international levels.
