Geco at the Guggenheim (final episode)

This this third installment on the Gego exhibition at the Guggenheim. Near the end of her long career, Gego created a series of paper weavings based on grids and geometric forms.

“Tejedura 91/30”  uses a horizontal/vertical grid formation of squares and rectangles. This piece features order-2 rotational symmetry.

“Tejedura 89/23” incorporates an angled component to the grid structure allowing the artist to create squares in a diamond position. 

This retrospective of Gego’s long and diverse exploration into both geometry and the concept of infinity will be on display at the Guggenheim in NYC through the Summer of 2023
