Carmen Herrera at Lisson Gallery

Paintings, works on paper, and "Estructuras" produced in the last decade of Carmen Herrera's life make up this exhibition at Lisson London, curated by Marie Perennès. Known for sharp lines, geometric shapes, and contrasting color planes, the Cuban-American artist spent over 80 years refining a visual language based on precision, balance, and reduction — and the exhibition proposes to read this late production not as a minor epilogue, but as the moment when her investigation of line, color, and proportion reached its fullest expression. Through subtle variations in scale, orientation, and rhythm, Herrera generates movement and spatial tension with remarkable economy of means, revealing how her final work continued to challenge and expand the boundaries of modernist abstraction.
