Geta Brătescu (*1926 in Ploiești, Romania, †2018 Bucharest) was one of the most important artists of the Romanian post-war period. Under communist censorship, she had to abandon her studies of literature and art at the University of Bucharest, but continued them at the end of the 1960s. Brătescu’s versatile work includes drawings, graphics, collages made of fabric or paper, installations, objects, photographs, experimental films and performances. In the artist's avant-garde oeuvre the boundaries between art and life are blurred; at the center of her works are questions of memory and history, human identity, normativity, and the female gender. Geta Brătescu’s works have been shown internationally in numerous solo and group exhibitions, including Documenta, Athens and Kassel (2017); Hamburger Kunsthalle (2016); Tate Modern, Liverpool (2015); Venice Biennale (2017; 2013; 1983; 1960); La Triennale, Paris (2012); Tate Modern, London (2012); National Museum of Contemporary Art Bucharest (2012); Istanbul Biennial (2011); New Museum, New York (2011); São Paulo Biennial (1987; 1983).
