Gego (Gertrude Goldschmidt) and Gerd Leufert are among the most significant Venezuelan abstract artists from the second half of the twentieth century. Both were pioneers who have had a lasting impact on generations of artists in Venezuela and internationally.

Gego and Gerd Leufert: a dialogue highlights both artists' development and reciprocal influence through works produced from 1964 to 1990. This exhibition coincides with the centenary celebration of the birth of both artists, opening the door for a critical assessment of their role in modern art history.

Generous sponsors of Gego and Gerd Leufert: a dialogue include Patricia Phelps de Cisneros, ISLAA (Institute for Studies on Latin American Art), the GPM Fund, Solita Mishaan, Andrea and José Olympio Pereira, and the Sicardi Gallery in Houston. Leadership support of the Hunter College Art Galleries has been provided by Carol Goldberg and Agnes Gund, and by an anonymous donor.
