Publisher's Synopsis
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.
Most known for collage, felt sculpture, and wall painting, Herrera references the complex legacy of abstraction using modernist visual languages. Often employing found material and sourced elements, Herrera's work incorporates discrete iconography and familiar imagery to provoke a multiplicity of references and readings. As his practice has evolved, the artist has become renowned for his colorful abstract mixed-media pieces that adapt and renew techniques of fragmentation and layering found in his earlier collage-based work.
