The Parrish Art Museum announces the arrival of significant works by Carmen Herrera (American, b. Cuba, 1915-2022) in the museum’s South Meadow. Opening on May 25, the exhibition, “Carmen Herrera: Estructuras Monumentales,” will feature four large-scale structures in bold colors, offering visitors an immersive experience of Herrera’s hard-edged work. The outdoor sculptures will be on view through December 8, 2024.
Born in Cuba in 1915, Herrera moved to Paris after World War II, where she spent the early part of her career. She settled permanently in New York in 1954 and lived there until her death in 2022. Herrera has been recognized as a leading voice in the abstract and minimalist movements. She trained at the Art Students League, New York, NY, (1942-43), before exhibiting five times at the Salon des Réalités Nouvelles, Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, France (1949-53). Herrera’s work was the subject of a large-scale survey at the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York in 2016.
A member’s preview of the show will be held on Saturday, May 25, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. More information is available at parrishart.org. The Parrish Art Museum is located at 279 Montauk Highway, Water Mill.
