Designed for the occasion of the Gego: Measuring Infinity exhibition at the Guggenheim Museum. Brought to you by Apply Stickers, a local New York company, this amazing red sticker features a Gego logo designed by Gerd Leufert in 1973.
An immigrant born in German-controlled Lithuania at the cusp of the first World War, Gerd Leufert studied arts and design in Hannover, Mainz, and, finally, in Munich with the German typographer Fritz H. Ehmcke. In 1951, Leufert emigrated to Venezuela, where he first applied his training to advertising.
Leufert cultivated his artistic career alongside that of his life partner, the Hamburg-born artist Gertrud Goldschmidt, better known as Gego. Leufert and Gego met within a year of his arrival in Caracas, before retreating to the small town of Tarma, where they collaborated between 1953 and 1956. Leufert also designed the promotional materials for many of Gegos exhibitions.
