Born in Havana, Cuba, in 1915, Carmen Herrera’s career in art took her around the globe. At 14, Herrera shipped off to the Marymount School in Paris, where she studied art history. Returning to Cuba two years later, she entered the Universidad de La Habana to study architecture. Yet after a year she relocated to New York City, where over the next decade she developed her talents through classes at the Young Men’s Hebrew Association, the Art Students League, and the Brooklyn Museum. For the next five decades Herrera produced minimalist geometric paintings and works of architecture. She died in 2022, and only late in life did her abstract creations achieve due renown. The Parrish Art Museum pays homage to the long overlooked artist, presenting four large-scale sculptures—they’re like big bright puzzle pieces—through December. —Jack Sullivan
