geometric abstraction

The Ella Fontanals Cisneros Collection includes works by Lucio Fontana, Barbara Hepworth, Roberto Matta, Joaquin Torres-Garcia, Maria Freire, and other artists whose work presaged and contextualized the geometric-abstractionism movement.

Their work provides the context for one of the collection's central focus: international geometric abstraction and geometric abstraction from Latin America. This important area of the collection features pieces by Lygia Clark, Waldemar Cordeiro, Jose Pedro Costigliolo, Carlos Cruz-Diez, Manuel Espinosa, Gego, Mathias Goeritz, Carmen Herrera, Alfredo Hlito, Raúl Lozza, Ana Maria Maiolino, Juan Mele, Helio Oiticica, Alejandro Otero, Lygia Pape, Lidy Prati, Mira Schendel, and Jesus Soto, among many others.
