Fundación Gego is created
Fundación Gego is born as a family initiative in 1994 after Gego’s death. Barbara Gunz says: “We were lucky to have the support of Gego’s friends, especially Miguel Arroyo, who guided us in what was our first exhibition, Gego: dibujos, grabados, tejeduras in 1996. We started building a team of professionals in order to achieve the goals we had defined: the registry and classification of Gego’s works, their conservation and study.”
Gego’s oeuvre at the XXIII Sao Paulo Biennale
Gego’s oeuvre participated in the special halls of the XXIII Sao Paulo Biennale under the direction of the Venezuelan critic, writer and curator Roberto Guevara. According to Josefina Manrique, “this worked as a platform to rouse the interest of international curators. It is at this time that her work starts to be included in itinerant exhibitions which confront her with prestigious and renowned artists before new spectators.” 
Drawings, Engravings and Tejeduras
This was the first individual exhibition after Gego’s death. A group of 119, so far unpublished, works on paper and twelve three-dimensional works were presented in the cultural spaces of Banco Consolidado. The sample was curated by Miguel Arroyo. A catalogue, containing a text by Eliseo Sierra, was published. 
Inside the visible
Under the curatorship of Catherine de Zegher, this collective exhibition included works by artists such as Louise Bourgeois, Lygia Clark, Mona Hatoum, Eva Hesse, Mira Schendel among others. The exhibition took place at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston; the National Museum of Women in the Arts, Washington DC; Whitechapel, London and the Art Gallery of Western Australia, Perth. 
Invención de la continuidad (Invention of continuity)
A collective exhibition at the Galería de Arte Nacional, Caracas, under the curatorship of Luis Enrique Pérez Oramas and Ariel Jiménez. In the catalogue we can read the following: “…Its importance resides not only in having articulated an art of settings, subtly theatrical, with the most rigorous, although random, formal structures and the most precarious materials. Its importance resides, essentially, in doing this within the constructivist framework of our modern tradition. Gego would be a dissident of modernity who opens up the perspectives of contemporary art from within modernity itself.” 
Re Alining Visions. Alternative currents in South American Drawing
This collective and itinerant exhibition counted on the curatorship of Mari Carmen Ramírez and Edith A. Gibson. It was shown in the following venues: Museo del Barrio in New York; Arkansas Art Center, Little Rock; Archer M.

Collective exhibition organized jointly by Museu de Art Contemponani de Barcelona and Hayward Gallery of London under the curatorship of Manuel Borja-Villel and Guy Brett. In his essay published in the catalogue of the exhibition Brett writes: “The objective transcription of a system of forces (with parallelisms in Physics, Biology and Engineering) is continually verified and challenged by a subjective and emotional imagination, especially at those points where these force lines meet and cross each other.” 
Heterotopías: Medio siglo sin lugar 1918 – 1968 (Heterotopies: half a century without a place 1918-1968)

Sala Mendoza exhibited 260 photographs by Gabriela Fontanillas under the curatorship of Ruth Auerbach. A sample without any works by Gego was accompanied by a video directed by Luis Montenegro with music by Famasloop. In the catalogue, designed by Álvaro Sotillo and Gabriela, a text by Luis Pérez Oramas says: “What would Gego achieve with her knots but tie the movement of things to a new stillness?” 
Sabiduras
Sabiduras, published in 2006, is a book which reproduces texts and thoughts by Gego related to her life and her work. Josefina Manrique and María Elena Huizi, the compilers, write: “In 1999, in a trunk that belonged to Gego and which she used as a filing cabinet, a sort of big, hand-made envelope was found. On its front, one handwritten word stood out. Sabiduras.” The book was published by the International Center for the Arts of the Americas of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and Fundación Gego. 
Gego. Between Transparency and the Invisible
Between Transparency and the Invisible, a large project organized by the MFAH under the curatorship of Mari Carmen Ramírez, had Gego’s works travelling to different cities for three years.

Starting out with the arrival of Joaquín Torres García in New York in 1920 until 1950, it explored the connections and exchanges between those artists: painters, sculptors, photographers and film-makers who brought new contributions to abstract language. It was shown at the Newark Museum, New Jersey, and the Amon Carter Museum, Fort Worth, Texas, under the curatorship of Mary Kate O’Hare.

Erre. Variations Labyrinthiques
This exhibition, curated by Hélène de Guenin and Guillaume Désanges, opened at Centre Pompidou Metz, France. The curators used the model of the “labyrinth” and its notions of going astray, loss and wandering in contemporary art. The project was based on questions and displays related to contemporary problems such as topographic loss and spiritual elevation, confusion and enlightenment, anguish and revelation. 
2012-1013 Gego’s centennial
