The Amateur Art Collector

Reuters U.K. published a pretty substantive article yesterday about how the slightly warming inter-governmental relations of the United States and Cuba is reigniting an interest from U.S.-based individual and institutional collectors in Cuban art.  Check it out.

I’m not familiar with contemporary Cuban artists (maybe that will change, as the article suggests, as the Obama presidency continues?), so this post’s picture is by Alberto Korda (1928-2001), the famous Cuban photographer who took the iconic photograph of Che Guevara, Guerrillero Heroico.
