Talk:Naum Gabo

Wikified

I have wikified and detailed the article. The original article just had a long text but I have kept most of it and put it at the end. I still have not found out the reason for the choice of Gabo as a surname.Piersmasterson 10:01, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Revolving Torsion

Gabo's "Revolving Torsion" fountain at Guy's and St Thomas's Hospital, London has been vandalised by the hospital. The fountain pool has been decked over and a hoarding erected around the sculpture. A full commentary and before and after photographs can be seen at flickr.com. Search on "Naum Gabo Fountain" or "Daisybush" who uploaded the photos. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.35.111.113 (talk • contribs) 19:12, 23 September 2006

Choice of Surname

see Martin Hamner and Christina Lodder, 'Gabo, Sir Naum (1890?–1977)', Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004 [1] accessed 15 Feb 2007]

"As a sign of his new sense of identity as a sculptor, he coined the pseudonym Gabo, to distinguish himself from his artist brother Antoine."

According to ODNB, the family name was "Pevzner", which the Wiki editor transliterates as "Pevsner". His brother's name is given by ODNB as Antoine, not Alexei. === Vernon White (talk) 22:24, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

I see there were two brothers, Alexii, older and Antoine, younger than Naum. The source of this information is a chronology in the catalogue of an Exhibition "Naum Gabo:constructions, paintings, drawings" at the Tate Gallery 15 March-16 April 1966, The show exhibited 108 items, of which 33 were three-dimensional. The introductory text in the catalogue is by Herbert Read. No clues on the origin of "Gabo" though!=== Vernon White (talk) 08:53, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Introduction

I've added an introduction to this page, along with a handful of citations. I removed the "Introduction needed" tag, but left the "Citations" tag as it could still use more, particularly in the rest of the article. Mianvar1 (talk) 22:48, 23 March 2018 (UTC)
