Description
Book SynopsisThe definitive critical history of the new Cuban art.
Trade Review"Rachel Weiss is a major expert on contemporary art in Cuba. Her knowledge is the result of profound research and, more importantly, of her very active personal involvement. Her discussions on the ‘New Cuban Art’ are the result of a social and contextual approach, bursting with sharp views, provocative ideas, and personal experiences. To and from Utopia in the New Cuban Art is the most important historical publication on the subject, and everyone who reads it will learn about Cuba and what’s more: will live Cuba." —Gerardo Mosquera
