Gego

How weird is this? After saying yesterday that I hadn't seen any of Gego's work, I received a book about Eva Hesse's sculpture today (ISBN 0-300-11418-4) and the first thing I saw on opening was above installation (Reticularea) by Gego!
What is also strange is that when I was in Italy, I was discussing colour spaces with a scientist friend and thinking about whether it would be possible to physically create one with wire or cord 'plotting' RGB co-ordinates (as you do?) and the image in my head was really similar to this.....
