The Legacy of Gego at Dominique Lévy

In conjunction with the exhibition, Dominique Lévy will publish a two-volume collection of illustrations, texts and previously unpublished archival material.
“Gego: Autobiography of a Line” will be showing from September 10 – October 24 2015, at Dominique Lévy, 909 Madison and 73rd Street, New York City.
The celebrated historical installation will now be re-imagined at Dominique Lévy, bringing together the original Chorros pieces.
She considered her wire sculptures a form of drawing, writing in her diary: “Sculpture: three dimensional forms of solid material.
It will be followed in Spring 2016 by a second exhibition devoted to Gego at the gallery’s London space at 22 Old Bond Street in Mayfair.
Having worked as designer and architect, and raising a family, Gego was already in her 40s when she became a full-time artist.

The last British Art Show was the best so far.
