Carmen Herrera — Cerulean
Carmen Herrera

Cerulean

1965

A striking example of Carmen Herrera's signature hard-edge abstraction, *Cerulean* presents bold geometric forms in a vivid blue hue against a crisp white ground. The composition exemplifies Herrera's lifelong pursuit of visual harmony through precise, clean lines and the dynamic tension between color and negative space. The work is presented in the artist's own frame, an intentional extension of the composition that underscores Herrera's meticulous control over the total visual experience.
