Elsa Gramcko (1925 - 1994 ) was a Venezuelan abstract sculptor and painter. Her
earlier works, which date from 1954, were geometric paintings, while her
later works were more tachist in nature.While her earlier works
consisted of mostly paintings, she expanded into sculpture and
assemblage in the 1960s and 70s. In 1959, José Gómez Sicre curated her
first solo show at the Art Museum of the Americas in Washington D.C. She
represented Venezuela in the 1959 São Paulo Art Biennial and in the
1964 Venice Biennale. In 1968 she was awarded the National Art Prize at
the Official Salon of Venezuelan Art and in 1966 she became the first
woman to obtain the first prize at the D'Empaire Salon held in
Maracaibo, Zulia State, Venezuela. Her work is held in various private
and public collections throughout Latin America and worldwide.Ida
