Carmen Herrera explores geometric shapes and the relationship between color and form. Since her first collaboration with ULAE in 2017, she has continued to create vibrant color and crisp lines in the form of lithography, intaglio, and most recently aquatint with chine collé.

An American-Cuban Minimalist artist, Carmen Herrera received acclaim much later in life, but is now considered a central figure in geometric abstraction. "My quest is for the simplest of pictorial resolutions," states Herrera, who is nearing her 105th birthday.

In her newest edition, Herrera returns to her exploration of circular imagery. She has always been curious and challenged by the painting in the round. It appealed to her as early as 1948 - and has been a recurring, if sporadic, theme throughout her career. A circular shape may seem ironic by someone who has been so enamored with the straight line, but she has said the round canvas is a demanding stage and she loves the daring element it offers a painter.

In this selection of prints, comprising both triptychs and individual limited editions, Herrera pulls from the visual imagery of her sculptures and paintings over the last five decades. She never ceases to captivate the eye and inspire.
