...most of them are not all that familiar, and the show makes a strong case that some of them--including Brazil's Helio Oiticica (1937-1980) and Lygia Clark (1920-1988), Venezuela's Gertrude Goldschmidt (1912-1994, a sculptor who worked under the name of Gego) and Carlos Cruz-Diez, 78, and of course that long-dead Uruguayan father figure of South American abstraction, Joaquin Torres-Garcia (1874-1949)--emphatically ought...
