Carmen Herrera: The Paris Years, 1948–1953 at Lisson New York explores the artist’s pivotal shift toward geometric abstraction. During this time in Paris, Herrera refined her visual language through shaped canvases, solvent-based acrylics, and dynamic compositions. Key works like Way and Thrust reflect her precise, object-oriented approach. The exhibition highlights her early innovations, influences, and lasting impact, laying the groundwork for her later minimalist style.
