Gerstein was born in –and lived and worked in– Buenos Aires. In 1934, she began training under Alfredo Bigatti [4][5] In the 1950s, she received a government grant to travel to France, where she studied at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière in Paris under the tutelage of Ossip Zadkine.[1][5] In 1952, Gerstein was one of the winners of the Institute of Contemporary Arts' design competition for the Unknown Political Prisoner Monument.[6][7] Gerstein's works were predominantly abstract, and she "experimented with new materials."[7] She had a preference for metallic constructions, such as Constellation (1963), which used small pieces of tubing.[2]

Awards
gollark: Arch, using the AUR package.
gollark: <@205756960249741312> I get this even though the ROm does exist.
gollark: The sum of these is somehow *substantially* less than the actual time it spends running. And I don't think anything randomly sits around yielding. Unless it does and I didn't notice.
gollark: It was a while ago. I'm trying to update it now and see.
gollark: You could probably implement a timeout on the HTTP requests. SPUDNET recently got long polling support, and it drops them if the remote end closes the connection or 30 seconds pass.
