This portfolio was acquired at the XI Art Biennale in Havana in 2012. Only 40 portfolios were published from the exhibition "Hereg Tribus Urbanas"which consist of a group of young cuban artists that call themselves Urban Tribes. They were all made at the Portocarrero Serigraph Workshop in Havana and each one has their famous embossed logo.

Original Cuban posters are becoming highly collectable and because of their scarcity many are being reproduced .We only sell original posters.
Our posters are sent in strong, wide and sturdy shipping tubes with protective paper to prevent damage to the edges. We use a double tube system that protects the edges of the poster.

Please check out our other auctions and store. If you see any other posters you like, we can combine multiple items in one tube.

I WILL SEND YOU A CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY WITH EACH POSTER


This original poster belongs to a collection that was started by my husband’s grandmother in 1973 and it was brought by us to the Unites States from 1998 to 2012 in small batches, due to Cuban and U.S government restrictions on importing or exporting art from the island. Each batch was processed by the Cuban government entity Registro Nacional de Bienes Culturales de la República de Cuba that dates from 1998 to 2012 under my name and my husband’s name as permits to take the posters to the United States. I have links in my webpage with pictures of many of the receipts as proof of provenance. During more than 20 years I befriended many of the artists and collectors, read every book and article I could have my hands on and acquired the knowledge to stand by the authenticity of my collection. I will send you a Certificate of Authenticity issued by my art gallery Art of Cuba and signed by me. It will include the  Title of the poster,Year printed and the artist’s name with the image of the actual poster.
