Description: This original poster belongs to an important collection initiated by my husband's grandmother in 1973. The collection was gradually transported to the United States between 1998 and 2012, adhering to stringent Cuban and U.S. government regulations regarding the import and export of art from the island. Each batch of posters was meticulously processed by the Registro Nacional de Bienes Culturales de la República de Cuba, with permits issued under my name and my husband's name, ensuring their legal transfer. The posters have been carefully preserved, kept flat in a temperature-controlled room since they left Cuba. However, due to the humid and hot climate of the island, as well as careless handling and poor storage over the years, some posters may exhibit minor flaws such as small border tears, cracks in the silkscreen paint, pinhole bug bites, and water stains. These imperfections are common in Cuban posters from the 60s and 70s. For more information about the history of Cuban posters and his artists, visit my page at artofcuba.com. This poster was kept flat in a temperature controlled room for the last 10 years. Some flaws like small tears in the border, cracks in the silkscreen paint, pinhole bug bites and water stains are very common in Cuban posters due to the humid/hot weather. Careless handling and poor storage of the posters also contributed to their condition. It is very difficult to find an original silkscreen from the 60's and 70's. And almost impossible to find it in pristine condition. In the majority of titles, only 250-500 handmade posters were ever printed and except for a selected group of collectors, most people disposed of them by dressing walls or recycling. Only a fraction of those survived until now. This is one of the very few.
