Carmen Herrera was a pioneering abstract painter in the '40s and '50s, but only recently found the recognition that eluded her for most of her career as she approaches her 100th birthday. The 100 Years Show was a festival favorite, has screened at museums around the world and ran at Film Forum in 2017 in a program that was given a Critic's Pick by the NY Times. Carmen passed away in 2022 at the age of 106.
