    Abstract: Venezuelan sculptor Gego (1912–1994) was one of the most important representatives of Latin American geometric abstraction in the mid–twentieth century. Born in Germany as Gertrud Luise Goldschmidt, Gego initially trained as an architect. In 1939, she emigrated to Caracas, where her work in design gradually led to the creation of installations that radically altered the nature of modernist sculpture by actively involving the viewer in the work’s formulation. In her sculptures, Gego countered the deductive logic of modernist abstraction with a fluid conceptualism, reconfiguring “content-less” art into an open-ended process of “thinking the line.” The most comprehensive examination of Gego’s art published in English to date, this monograph contains in-depth analyses by scholars from various disciplines as well as previously untranslated historical texts, providing new perspectives on the artist’s critical relationship to the avant-garde traditions of the Bauhaus and Russian constructivism, to Venezuelan urbanism and kineticism, and to the postminimalist art of the sixties.

    Abstract: A very personal notebook: Zvi Hecker’s architectural sketches from 1946 to the present, accompanied by his own texts “I am an artist whose profession is architecture,” writes Zvi Hecker (*1931 in Cracow), and nothing embodies this more than Sketches—a compilation Hecker’s architectural drawings that stand alone as works of art while providing a handbook on the singular process of design that has given rise to the Spiral Apartment House, the Heinz-Galinski-Schule Berlin, and the Mountains Housing Project, a work that anticipated current architectural concerns to an unprecedented degree. Leading the reader from the embryonic conception of an idea through to the implementation of it, and accompanied by reflections on topics varying from beauty to education, Sketches—designed by Hecker himself—presents a unique glimpse into the workings of one of the world’s most original architects.

    Abstract: This monograph is the first to provide a comprehensive overview of Metzger's career, also taking into account more recent works such as his series Historic Photographs, which are closely linked to Metzger's experience as a survivor of the Holocaust. A detailed chronology presents the artist's activity in the context of historical and political developments, honoring Metzger for the first time not just as an artist, but also as an activist.
