Closing Tour: Both Sides of the Line – Carmen Herrera & Leon Polk Smith
Join us for an engaging tour of the UMMA exhibition “Both Sides of the Line: Carmen Herrera & Leon Polk Smith.” Featuring more than 45 artworks, this exhibition brings together the groundbreaking work of Carmen Herrera and Leon Polk Smith and explores how these two artists redefined the visual language of modern art. Despite forging a creative dialogue that spanned decades, their work has never been presented side-by-side at this scale, until now. Their perspectives intersect, diverge, and resonate, offering new ways to understand their work, abstraction, and the power of friendship.
This is the final tour of “Both Sides of the Line” before the exhibition closes on January 4, 2026.
Free and open to the public. Registration required.
