Why are there no pictures of Gego or any of her public pieces of art?

Currently this wiki article fails to mention that upon arriving in Venezuela Gego worked as an architect and designed several buildings. Perhaps the only surviving building is the house she built for herself and her 1st husband. This house/building is an amazing structure. If possible, pictures of this work of art should be added.

There is no mention of Gego life a as woman. She was married twice (Gunz & Leufert) She had several children with her first husband, all who grew up to be fantastic Venezuelans.

A note on pronunciation:

"Gego" impresses itself on the memory: two short syllables and a single, repeating consonant (pronounce it halfway between Geh-go and Gay-go).

There should be some disambiguation on gego. This is used as an unofficial scientific size prefix, as in gegobyte, similar to bronto as in brontobyte. See http://blog.seagate.com/business/a-gegobyte-hard-drive-would-cover-the-earth-23000000-times-2/ 66.155.23.67 (talk)
