Untitled (NWR)
2017
This bold geometric lithograph by Carmen Herrera features a single red parallelogram dramatically positioned against a pristine white background, exemplifying her signature minimalist aesthetic. Part of a limited edition of 100 published by Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen in Düsseldorf, this work demonstrates Herrera's mastery of color and form that she refined over seven decades. The piece is signed and numbered 23/100 in pencil, acquired from Tate Ward Auctions in 2021.

Artists in conversation
Ellsworth Kelly
American · b. 1923
Kelly's work shares Herrera's precise use of bold single color shapes against white grounds, particularly his hard edge geometric forms in pure saturated colors that reduce composition to its most elemental visual statement.
Friedrich Vordemberge-Gildewart
German · b. 1899
Vordemberge-Gildewart created rigorously minimal geometric compositions featuring angular forms like parallelograms in single bold colors against white, achieving the same tension between positive and negative space that defines Herrera's lithograph.
Vera Molnár
Hungarian French · b. 1924
Molnár's practice of reducing geometric abstraction to singular angular shapes in constrained color palettes on white grounds parallels Herrera's reductive approach, and both artists worked in print media to explore the optical weight of solitary geometric forms.
