Gego was born in Hamburg, Germany, in 1912. Gego received a degree in architecture from the University of Stuttgart in 1938, but in 1939 she was forced to leave Germany and emigrated to Venezuela. Between 1940 and 1944 she worked as a freelance architect and also as an industrial designer. In 1952 she moved to Tarma, on the coast, where she experimented with watercolors, monotypes, and wood engravings until her return to Caracas in 1956. There, using pure abstraction as her starting point, she addressed problems of sculptural space; in 1958 she explored the formal possibilities of projecting planes, modules, and parallel lines onto curved surfaces, and exhibited her first sculptures at the gallery-bookstore Cruz del Sur. The following year, the Museum of Modern Art in New York purchased her sculpture Sphere, and she exhibited in the Venezuelan Pavilion at the Brussels International Fair.

In 1960, during a brief residence in New York, she met the constructivist sculptor Naum Gabo and the Bauhaus artists Josef and Annie Albers. She subsequently experimented with printing and engraving techniques even as she continued her work in sculpture. Starting in the 1960s she taught at the school of architecture of the Universidad Central de Venezuela and at the Escuela de Artes Plásticas Cristóbal Rojas. Her first individual show was held at the Museo de Bellas Artes in Caracas in 1961; in 1962 she installed a sculpture at the headquarters of the Banco Industrial de Venezuela, and then traveled to the United States for a brief visit. She helped found the Instituto de Diseño Neumann in Caracas, where she taught from 1964 to 1977. In 1969, with Gerd Leufert, she completed the murals for the headquarters of the Instituto Nacional de Cooperación Educativa (INCE). In 1970 she prepared the first sample of her series Chorros (Streams), which consisted of suspended aluminum rods, and in 1972 she constructed Cuerdas (Cords), a sculpture-installation consisting of suspended nylon and stainless-steel strips, for the Parque Central architectonic complex in Caracas.

From the 1970s to the 1980s she completed important, architecturally integrated sculpture for public buildings, residences, and shopping malls while continuing to experiment with printing, design, and engraving techniques. During the 1980s Gego distanced her work from the constructivist models that depended on a preconceived idea, and began to use random procedures and “poor” materials such as industrial scraps and metals. Her series of suspended sculptures Dibujos sin papel (Drawings without Paper) and her series Bichos (Creatures) also date from the 1980s, as does her Reticulárea ambiental. Her last, extremely significant work was Tejeduras (Weavings), in which small fields of orthogonal lines woven with strips of paper simultaneously summarized the matrices of classic abstraction and combined them with the heretofore unknown techniques of this singular artist.

Gego has exhibited widely. Selected solo exhibitions: Gego: Between Transparency and the Invisible, The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, The Drawing Center, New York, New York and Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires (MALBA), Buenos Aires, Argentina (2006-2007); Gego, Museu d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona (MACBA), Barcelona, Spain; Gego Museo Serralves, Museu de Arte Contemporanea, Porto, Portugal: Questioning the Line: Gego 1955-1990, The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, Museo de Arte Contemporaneo de Monterrey (MARCO), Monterrey, Mexico and Museo de Arte Contemporaneo Rufino Tamayo, Mexico City, Mexico (2000-2002) Selected group exhibitions: MoMA 1965; New Haven 1966; New York 1967; Caracas 1980; Caracas 1988; New York 1988; New York 1993; Milwaukee 1995; São Paulo Bienal 1996; Rio de Janeiro 1996; Caracas 1977; Los Angeles 1999; Barcelona/London 2000.
