Description
Geta Brătescu was one of the pioneers of conceptual art in Romania and has been a central figure of Romanian contemporary art since the 1960s. Her work includes drawings, collage, textiles, photography, performance, tapestry, illustration and film. Within her avant-garde work, she continuously tackled questions related to female subjectivity, gender, memory, and the ongoing examination of the limits of creative expression. As an artist with a long career, Brătescu produced a complex body of work that showed an integration of life and art. Brătescu’s works have been part of many exhibitions and collections around the world, including the Neuer Berliner Kunstverein; Hauser & Wirth, Los Angeles & New York; the Camden Arts Centre, London; the Museum of Fine Arts, Ghent; Hamburger Kunsthalle, Hamburg; Tate Liverpool; the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive; documenta 14, Athens & Kassel; the Venice Biennale; the Palais de Tokyo and the Paris Triennial; New Museum, New York; São Paulo Biennial; and Istanbul Biennial. Geta Brătescu represented Romania in the 2017 Venice Biennale with the project “Apparitions”, the first solo show of a female artist in the Romanian Pavilion.
