Sin ttulo

Conceptual artistic manifestations in Latin America had their first appearance in the 1940s in Buenos Aires. These ideas soon spread to other countries, serving as inspiration to the concrete and abstract artists of both Brazil and Venezuela. Gego, a German immigrant in Venezuela, soon became one of the most important exponents of conceptualism in Venezuela. She developed a poetic language that both embedded her personal experience and the rigidness of conceptual theories in delicate, yet sturdy compostions both on paper and three dimensional objects.
