Original 1989 Cuban Concert Silkscreen Poster for Carlos Varela.Rock Music art

Original Cuban movie posters have become highly collectible worldwide.They were made in small handmade batches of 25-250 and many were lost to insects and humidity or simply discarded or recycled by the government. Due to their scarcity, many designs are now being reproduced. I sell only original first edition vintage Cuban posters — no reproductions, ever.

Each poster is carefully packed using protective tissue paper and a double heavy-duty mailing tube to help ensure safe delivery and protect the edges in transit.

Please visit my other listings and store to see additional posters from this collection. I’m happy to combine multiple purchases in one tube whenever possible to save on shipping.

Every poster includes a signed Certificate of Authenticity.

Provenance & Authenticity

This original Cuban poster comes from a family collection begun in 1973 by my husband’s grandmother in Havana. Between 1998 and 2012, we carefully brought the collection to the United States in small, legally authorized batches due to Cuban and U.S. government regulations on the export of cultural property. Each group of posters was officially processed through the Registro Nacional de Bienes Culturales de la República de Cuba under permits issued in both my name or my husband’s name. The documentation dates from 1998–2012 and confirms legal export from Cuba.

Over the past 20+ years, I have built close relationships with artists and collectors, studied the history of Cuban graphic and poster design extensively, and developed the expertise to confidently stand behind the authenticity of every piece I offer.

Your purchase will include a signed Certificate of Authenticity issued by my gallery Art of Cuba.
