2018
Comprising three lithographs conceived when Herrera was in her one-hundred-and-third year, this 2018 suite distills the Cuban-American painter's lifelong pursuit of geometric precision into the intimate scale of the printed page. Each sheet deploys hard-edged forms and fields of saturated color with the same architectural economy that has defined her practice across eight decades, demonstrating that her vision remains as exacting and uncompromising as ever. The edition of fourteen ensures genuine rarity, and the artist's signature lends each set a direct connection to one of the most celebrated and resilient figures in twentieth and twenty-first century abstraction. Printed at Universal Limited Art Editions, a workshop whose history is inseparable from the elevation of fine-art printmaking in America, the lithographs carry both institutional prestige and exceptional technical quality. ULAE's collaborative process draws out the subtlest intentions of the artists it works with, and in Herrera's case that means surfaces of almost meditative flatness, where color meets color along edges of unerring clarity. The absence of framing allows the collector to approach the works in their purest state before commissioning presentation suited to a specific interior, and the generous sheet dimensions of 68.6 by 44.5 centimeters ensure that each composition commands genuine wall presence. For collectors drawn to the traditions of geometric abstraction, this suite occupies a singular position. Herrera's market ascent over the past decade has been remarkable, yet her work retains a quiet rigor that resists mere trend. Acquiring a signed, limited edition produced at the height of her recognition is an opportunity to hold a concentrated expression of an artistic philosophy refined over a lifetime, rendered in a medium that rewards close and repeated looking.
