Geta Brătescu: An Atelier of One’s Own

In the fall of 2017, the Museum of Fine Arts Ghent (MSK) organised the first exhibition of the Romanian artist Geta Brătescu (°1926) to be held in Belgium. The exhibition presented a compact overview of the remarkably varied oeuvre of the 91-year-old artist. The central focus was her approach to the studio as a performative, contemplative and critical space. It provided a rare opportunity to explore the breadth of the artist’s long-standing yet widely unknown oeuvre, whilst focusing on specific areas of Brătescu’s interests in-depth.
