File:Arturo Herrera Untitled 2020.jpg

Collage by Arturo Herrera, Untitled (mixed media and collage on paper , 50,4 x 39,6 cm, 2020). The image illustrates key later mode in Arturo Herrera's career from the 2010s onward: his more complex art across diverse media, which often emphasized form over concept and movement (bodily and formal) referencing dance and music as a springboard to formal and conceptual experimentation. As in this large collage, his later work often took the form of dynamic works on paper, books and wall pieces that layered countless photographs, erratic strips of color and large shapes, at times incorporating gallery spaces itself within their collaged frameworks. This work was publicly exhibited in prominent exhibitions and public venues, discussed in major art journals and daily press publications and commissioned by major institutions.

The image serves an informational and educational purpose as the primary means of illustrating a key later period in Arturo Herrera's career in the 2010s and 2020s, when he pushed in the direction of more complex work in diverse media, often privileging form over concept and movement (bodily and formal) with references to dance and music as a point of departure for formal and conceptual experimentation. This later work often centered on layered, sometimes disorienting, abstract hybrids of painting, collage and assemblage that encompassed books, wall pieces, installations and collaborative public works. Because the article is about an artist and his work, the omission of the image would significantly limit a reader's understanding and ability to understand this key later body of work and direction in his art, which brought Herrera continuing recognition through international exhibitions and coverage by major critics and publications. Herrera's work of this type and this series is discussed in the article and by critics cited in the article.
