Artist Geta Brătescu has died at 92, according to gallery Hauser & Wirth. “Geta Brătescu was a true artist who even in the darkest times maintained her sense of playfulness and freedom,†Iwan Wirth, the cofounder and president of the gallery, said in a statement. “Her powerful life force went in so many directions, from drawing and graphics and photography, to animated videos and tapestry, that even in her 90s she embodied the spirit and passion of a young person. That Geta lived to see her art embraced so enthusiastically on the international level at the 2017 Venice Biennale and at her first New York solo exhibition at our gallery last year, means so much. She will be dearly missed.â€
