Overview
The first monograph on Venezuelan multimedia artist Arturo Herrera in nearly twenty years, this comprehensive book takes a deep look at his diverse body of work.
This new publication highlights the breadth of Herrera’s practice from the start of his career to the present, showcasing painting, mixed media works on paper, photography, collage, glass, felt sculpture, and architectural interventions.
For nearly thirty years, Herrera has investigated and contaminated the complex histories of abstraction. His approach to material—as both subject and object—simultaneously reveals and conceals fragments of pop culture and found images within layers of shape, color, and line. The resulting compositions conjure multiple associations, creating an open-ended, charged exchange between artist, artwork, and viewer.
In addition to the rich plate section, this monograph includes a comprehensive exhibition history, essays by Valerie Smith and Scott Roben, and a conversation between Herrera and his good friend and fellow artist Josiah McElheny.
