These irregularly shaped works technically remain her only monochromes; however, Herrera envisions the white of the wall exposed in the negative space of the sculptures and wall pieces as the second color. Herrera began executing the works in 1969 but abandoned them two years later after the death of her carpenter. These works marked an important moment in Herrera's career, wherein the forms move from drawing to painting and sculpture, and her meticulous sharp edges are physically manifested. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lisson Gallery\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/04\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780947830731\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 12.00h x 9.20w x 0.60d","brand":"Carmen Herrera","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39714047066293,"sku":"9780947830731","price":38.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_39d0497e-3d0a-487b-8a8e-f59cb380ccd1.jpg?v=1618287498","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/carmen-herrera-estructuras-9780947830731","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
