About
Why this artist matters now
Carmen Herrera creates geometric abstractions in oil and acrylic, employing bold color fields and precise linear composition to investigate spatial relationships and optical depth. Born in Havana and based in New York from the mid-1950s, her rigorously formal paintings remained largely outside institutional view until late career recognition.
