Two Colour Silkscreen - Signed and numbered on the front - Published by Pace Gallery

Untitled (Yellow Divide) by Carmen Herrera is a minimalist silkscreen print featuring a bold composition of geometric forms. A large yellow rectangle dominates the center of the artwork, bisected by a green diagonal line that subtly disrupts the uniformity. The simplicity of the design, with its clean lines and sharp contrast between yellow and green, embodies Herrera’s commitment to precision and abstraction. The negative space surrounding the central form emphasizes the starkness of the composition, allowing the viewer to focus on the purity of color and form. This work reflects Herrera's exploration of balance, form, and simplicity within her abstract minimalist approach.

Carmen Herrera (Cuba/United States, 1915–2022) was a Cuban-American abstract painter and sculptor. Her minimalist, geometric works, characterized by bold colors and precise lines, gained significant recognition later in her life. Herrera's art challenged traditional boundaries, contributing notably to the development of geometric abstraction and minimalism.

Beauty comes from within, but it's up to us to use fashion and beauty to express who we are on the inside.
- Carmen Herrera

Carmen Herrera was born in 1915, in Cuba. After demonstrating a natural talent for art, Herrera began formal lessons at the age of 8. When she was 14 years old, her parents enrolled her in Marymount School in Paris where Carmen continued to study art. In 1937, Herrera moved to the United States with her husband and continued her education at the Art Students League in New York while also taking classes at the Brooklyn Museum of Art. Originally trained as an architect, Carmen Herrera creates artwork that features strong lines and symmetry. Her precision to detail, measurement, and scale leads to striking minimalist productions featuring very few colors with geometric form. Even after all her training, and the many works of art she has produced, Carmen Herrera was not discovered as an artist until she was 89 years old. At that time, she sold her first piece. At the age of 101, she finally had a show to display her work, in New York City's Whitney Museum.

What is geometric abstract art?

Geometric abstraction is a form of abstract art that uses geometric shapes arranged in a non-illusionistic space (though not always) and combined into non-representational (non-objective) compositions. Based on years of artistic research, some artists have proposed that geometric abstraction offers a solution to modern challenges by rejecting traditional illusionistic practices in favor of clarity and simplicity.
