After decades of slights, Cuban painter tastes fame at 101
Cuban-American artist Carmen Herrera has been painting for decades. And painting. And painting. At age 89, she finally sold something.
And now, at 101, true recognition has arrived: an exhibit of her work at the Whitney Museum of American Art and a documentary on her life soon coming out in New York, where she has lived for 70 years.
Herrera may not be in her prime, but her career is going gangbusters.
